Researchers find shade from stand density can cost farmers about 10% of potential crop yield

Green Car Congress

A team from the University of Illinois has found that compared to top leaves, the shaded lower level leaves of C4 crops planted in dense stands such as corn and Miscanthus underperform, costing farmers about 10% of potential yield. Long (2017) “Loss of photosynthetic efficiency in the shade. Pignon, Deepak Jaiswal, Justin M.

Scientists suggest quantum control of atoms may make fusion energy production more efficient

Green Car Congress

Scientists at Rice University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Chile are proposing that quantum-controlled motion of nuclei, starting from the nanometer-size ground state of a molecule, can potentially overcome some of the difficulties of thermonuclear fusion by compression of a fuel pellet or in a bulk plasma.
