It makes messages, copying and carrying instructions from the cell nucleus to make proteins.
Natural forest regrowth offers a lower-cost path to climate and biodiversity goals
As nations race to restore ecosystems and curb climate change, research has shown that letting nature do the work is a cost-effective, viable solution. A study from the University of Queensland and the University of Newcastle found that natural forest regeneration delivered substantial carbon and biodiversity benefits and could be up to 96% cheaper than traditional tree-planting programs.

Turkey Chokes On $2.5-Bn Russian Trap: Erdogan's Plan To Sell S-400 To UAE Fails, F-35 Door Shut
Trkiye wants back into America's F-35 programme, but a $2.5 billion Russian purchase still stands in the way. Ankara reportedly explored transferring its largely unused S-400 air-defence systems to the UAE, potentially removing the biggest obstacle to an F-35 comeback. That escape route has stalled, with no completed transfer officially confirmed. The UAE faces its own dilemma: it operates US Patriot and THAAD systems, hosts American forces and has itself pursued the F-35. Taking Trkiye's Russian S-400s could import the same security and sanctions concerns that damaged Ankara's relationship with Washington. Russia adds another complication: Moscow has confirmed discussions with Trkiye over the system's fate, while contractual restrictions could affect any onward transfer. Meanwhile, the US State Department says Trkiye still has not met the legal conditions for F-35 access. One Russian weapons purchase continues to haunt Erdogan's stealth-fighter ambitions.
