Understanding field conditions like alkalinity, moisture content, and the mineral composition of soil is vital to those within farming and agriculture. These figures allow farmers to make informed, data-based decisions about when to sow or harvest, helping them achieve the best possible yield each year.

Ozone is an incredibly effective disinfectant, but currently the expense of this technology is limiting its value on a commercial scale. To counteract this, a team of researchers from Philadelphia have explored how catalysts for electrochemical ozone production behave at a molecular level, with the aim of improving future applications…

Non-destructive testing, as the name suggests, allows for scientists to conduct tests without removing or affecting the serviceability of machine components. To aid these efforts, a team from Chuo University in Japan have developed a new method using carbon nanotubes to enhance 3D optical material analyses.
