The first biohybrid plant that absorbs more CO2 thanks to nanoparticles: the new Italian study

A group of researchers from the Free University of Bolzano has “engineered” plants by equipping them with nanoparticles (i.e. particles with a size between 1 and 100 nanometers) of a synthetic polymer, able to increase their ability to absorb sunlight and photosynthesize: the results were described in the study Conjugated polymer nanoparticles boosting growth and photosynthesis in biohybrid plantspublished in ...

Because multiplying a number by zero is 0

Because multiplying a number by zero is 0

Why multiplying by zero is zero? Intuitively we can see it in different ways, but there are also explanations based on mathematical rules. Let’s see a concrete explanation and a mathematical one based on the distributive property and on the fact that zero is the only one neutral element of the sum. Multiplication is an operation that can be seen ...
