Accurate measurement of soil NO₃⁻-N is essential for precision fertilization and stable crop yields. Real-time monitoring of NO₃⁻-N has long been a challenge in agriculture. Conventional soil nutrient testing relies on time-consuming laboratory-based chemical analysis. Existing nitrogen monitoring technologies also have limitations regarding in situ deployment, temporal resolution, and continuous tracking. Furthermore, they are susceptible to interference from soil moisture, salinity, and complex field conditions. This makes them inadequate for the high-frequency, large-scale monitoring required by modern precision agriculture.

arXiv:2602.08593v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Kissan-Dost, a multilingual, sensor-grounded conversational system that turns live on-farm measurements and weather into plain-language guidance delivered over WhatsApp text or voice. The system couples commodity soil and climate sensors with retrieval-augmented generation, then enforces grounding, traceability, and proactive alerts through a modular pipeline. In a 90-day, two-site pilot with five participants, we ran three phases (baseline, dashboard only, chatbot only). Dashboard engagement was sporadic and faded, while the chatbot was used nearly daily and informed concrete actions. Controlled tests on 99 sensor-grounded crop queries achieved over 90 percent correctness with subsecond end-to-end latency, alongside high-quality translation outputs. Results show that careful last-mile integration, not novel circuitry, unlocks the latent value of existing Agri-IoT for smallholders.

Professor Darren Evans and Madeleine Fabusova from the School of Natural and Environmental Science have published new research that shows that typical levels of artificial light at night can simultaneously suppress early-night activity and disrupt navigation cues in nocturnal insects and spiders. These findings identify twilight as a disproportionately sensitive period, raising questions about how street lighting and other mitigation strategies should be targeted.

Can we use nothing more than sunlight and inexpensive materials to produce clean hydrogen fuel while also removing toxic pollutants from water? That question shaped our recent work with γ-In2S3, a semiconductor that has intrigued researchers for years but still holds untapped potential. By making subtle changes at the atomic scale, we discovered that we could significantly enhance its performance under visible light without adding noble metals or forming complex heterojunctions.

In a groundbreaking advancement poised to revolutionize agricultural monitoring, Purdue University researchers have developed an innovative smart platform capable of wirelessly assessing subsoil health with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency. Spearheaded by Associate Professor Rahim Rahimi from Purdue’s School of Materials Engineering, this novel technology—referred to as HARVEST—promises to fundamentally transform how farmers manage soil resources, […]

A new smart platform invented by Purdue University researchers to wirelessly monitor subsoil health could change the landscape of agricultural sensing systems. The invention addresses a critical need in agriculture nationwide: the efficient use of water, fertilizers and pesticides. Due to the variability of soil conditions across large fields, applying uniform amounts of these inputs can lead to significant waste, increasing costs for farmers and causing environmental harm if nutrient runoff reaches water systems.

A new study conducted at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) shows that grassland-based grazing systems—currently covering a third of Earth's surface and representing the world's largest production system—will see a severe contraction as global temperatures rise. Depending on the scenario analyzed, 36–50% of the land with suitable climatic conditions for grazing today will experience a loss of viability by 2100, affecting more than 100 million pastoralists and up to 1.6 billion grazing animals.

Korea now officially recognizes 62,604 species within its borders, up from 61,230 in 2024, according to data released Monday. The latest National Species List, compiled by the National Institute of Biological Resources, is based on data gathered through the end of 2025. Compared with the 28,462 native species identified in 1996, the confirmed total has more than doubled. The steady rise reflects the discovery and formal documentation of species that were already present in Korea but previously unknown. Taking Korea’s land masses into account, experts estimate that the country may host around 100,000 native species in total. Among the species newly added to the list, 307 are entirely new to science, with their existence confirmed for the first time, according to the organization. One such discovery is a plant known as “beoteum yangjikkot,” a perennial herb that grows with yellow petals and spreads as its roots extend sideways. It has been confirmed as an endemic species found only in

US researchers suggest regular bonding over meals may help kids steer clear of alcohol, cannabis and e-cigarettes.

One researcher writes, “It’s not about the food, timing, or setting; it’s the parent-child relationship and interactions it helps cultivate that matter.” The results, however, weren't so promising among kids with significant stress or trauma, and the researchers suggest these groups need additional support to avoid substance use.
