Researchers produce first macromolecular model of plant secondary cell wall
A multidisciplinary approach has enabled researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to quantitatively define the relative positioning and arrangement of the polymers in Populus wood and to create a computer model that details the findings.

Newly developed macromolecular model of phytoplankton could have implications for climate research
Since 1934, the Redfield ratio—the recurring ratio of 106:16:1 of carbon to nitrogen to phosphorus (C:N:P) in phytoplankton and the pathways by which these elements are circulated throughout all parts of the Earth—has been a cornerstone of oceanography. While differences in C:N:P ratios exist and have been observed across ocean biomes, to date there has not been an established way to quantify or predict that variation. However, a new study from a University of Rhode Island professor could help to fill in the blanks for scientists studying and trying to understand these variances.
