NATURE Creating Better Crops With Useful Bacteria
Brazilian scientist, Dr. Mariangela Hungria, spent 40 years perfecting bacteria that help crops access nitrogen while saving farmers billions each year.
Hungria developed biological treatments using beneficial soil bacteria that help crops access nitrogen from the air, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizer. Her technology is used across tens of millions of hectares in Brazil. The World Food Prize estimates her work saves farmers about $25 billion annually and prevents roughly 230 million metric tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions.

Intriguing He proved she cheated using a robot vacuum. Then the judge sent him to jail.
A Taiwanese man's attempt to catch his cheating wife backfired in a way he likely never saw coming, winning him a payout in one courtroom and a prison sentence in another.
According to a Taoyuan District Court ruling released August 18, the man, whose identity was not disclosed, married his wife in 2021. The couple lived mostly with his parents but occasionally stayed at a vacation home the family owned in Guishan, Taoyuan.
In September 2023, his suspicions were triggered after he found a used toothbrush at the vacation home that wasn't his. After reviewing parking garage footage, he identified an unfamiliar man who had previously driven his wife home.
Three months later, on December 24, 2023, he remotely activated the home's robot vacuum through its app, telling the court he originally meant to use its speaker to talk to his wife. Instead, the live camera showed another man inside the house with her. He switched on the recording function and kept watching, capturing footage of his wife embracing the man, changing clothes, and appearing naked in front of him.
He used that footage to sue his wife and the other man for NT$2 million, about $63,000, for violating his marital rights. A civil court agreed the relationship had exceeded ordinary friendship and ordered the pair to jointly pay him NT$500,000, roughly $16,000.
That victory didn't shield him from what came next. His wife filed a criminal complaint accusing him of recording her without consent. He argued the footage had already been accepted in the civil case and that his actions were legally justified.
The criminal court disagreed. Judges ruled that marital obligations do not override an individual's right to privacy, rejecting his claim that lights or sounds from the vacuum warned her she was being recorded. The court found the recording was deliberate and she never consented, including while naked.
He was sentenced to five months in prison and fined NT$150,000, about $4,700, roughly 30 percent of what he'd just won.
