A French trial found that tilting solar panels flat over nectarine trees on nights when frost is forecast warmed the flower buds by up to 1.7 degrees Celsius, and during the frost that caused damage, flower injury fell from 35 percent to under 10 percent

As climate change brings unpredictable frosts, French farmers are discovering an unexpected ally: solar panels that double as frost shields, protecting delicate fruit blossoms while generating power.

Goodbye, cavities? New gel could regrow tooth enamel

Researchers have developed a fluoride-free gel that could help rebuild damaged tooth enamel, something the body cannot naturally replace once it is lost. Inspired by the proteins that guide enamel formation in infancy, the gel fills microscopic cracks and draws calcium and phosphate from saliva to grow a new mineral layer that closely matches healthy enamel.
