Understanding lipid composition of ant fungal gardens provides new knowledge on interkingdom communications band and also advances toward the development of microbial systems that can produce valuable compounds from plant biomass.

Researchers propose and test foundational concepts for the new subdiscipline of “meta-metabolome ecology.”

Researchers found that certain oxide interface configurations remain stable in extreme environments, suggesting ways to build better performing, more reliable devices for fuel cells, space-based electronics, and nuclear energy.
