The study suggests that higher CO2 levels help these grasses use water more efficiently, allowing them to sustain productivity during periods of reduced rainfall.

Scientists grew high-purity single-crystal CrSb using chemical vapour transport and confirmed its structure through X-ray diffraction, resistivity, magnetization and Laue measurements. Using these bulk-resolved samples, they identified a three-dimensional g-wave altermagnetic order parameter in the material, characterizing how its magnetic symmetry differs from conventional magnets.
