Before seeding alfalfa into ground previously row-cropped, test soil acidity and adjust lime rates as needed, recommends Bruce Anderson, University of Nebraska Extension forage specialist. If you’re seeding new alfalfa this spring ...
MIT chemists have devised a way to trap carbon dioxide and transform it into useful organic compounds, using a simple metal complex. More work is needed to understand and optimize the reaction, but one day this approach could offer an ...
Flawed but colorful diamonds are among the most sensitive detectors of magnetic fields known today, allowing physicists to explore the minuscule magnetic fields in metals, exotic materials and even human tissue. University of California, ...
