Elon Musk’s Optimus Robots are currently Looney Tunes slapstick disasters. But there’s a massive effort behind the scenes to make sure they don’t stay clumsy clankers forever. Enter Tesla’s secret lab ...

Introduction: Soil enzymes are critical to plant growth and soil carbon turnover. However, the traditional method of assessing enzyme activity per unit of soil may be insufficient; instead, ...

In this mini review we examine how soil extracellular enzymes play a key role in nutrient cycling, but stress that their activity alone does not fully represent ecosystem processes. We emphasize the ...
