Newswise — Wood formation is far from a simple process; it’s a biological symphony requiring flawless coordination between various cellular systems. While mitochondria are best known as cellular “powerhouses,” their deeper roles in plant growth have only recently come into focus. One major gap, however, has been understanding how these organelles contribute to secondary vascular…
Powdery mildew and other crop diseases pose persistent threats to global food security and agricultural productivity. Overuse of pesticides has not only damaged ecosystems and raised health concerns but also led to resistant pathogen strains, reducing their effectiveness. Plant defense inducers (PDIs), natural molecules designed to mimic pathogen attacks and activate plant immune responses, offer…
Newswise — Fruit set in grapes plays a decisive role in yield and quality but is often challenged by significant berry abscission during early development. While plant hormones like cytokinins have been applied to mitigate these issues, their effects were not fully understood at the molecular level. This gap in knowledge spurred a deeper investigation…
Newswise — Hydrogen evolution is a cornerstone of clean energy, playing a pivotal role in producing hydrogen fuel. However, traditional catalysts like platinum are prohibitively expensive, driving the need for alternatives. Transition metal phosphorus trichalcogenides, such as NiPS3, present a promising option due to their unique structure. Yet, their natural limitations—low catalytic activity and basal…
FY-4B/GIIRS scans East Asia every two hours during both daytime and nighttime. Its measured radiation contains information on atmospheric temperature, humidity, and a variety of reactive trace gases. The massive data from the broad detection region and time-intensive scanning challenge the real-time retrieval of these atmospheric parameters. The study published (DOI: 10.34133/remotesensing.0289) on November 1,…
Newswise — As consumer demand for functional foods rises, powdered drink mixes (PDMs) have gained popularity due to their convenience and health benefits. This shift reflects an increasing preference for plant-based or specialty beverages addressing dietary concerns like lactose intolerance and calorie control. Low-glycemic foods are especially valued for managing blood glucose levels and enhancing…
Newswise — Amid an escalating global energy crisis, the need for high-performance energy storage solutions is more pressing than ever. Supercapacitors, known for their fast charge/discharge rates and longer cycle life compared to traditional batteries, have emerged as a critical component in future energy systems. However, to meet growing demand, supercapacitors require high-quality electrode materials…
Newswise — Radiative heat transfer is one of the most critical energy transfer mechanisms in nature. However, traditional blackbody radiation, due to its inherent characteristics such as non-directional, incoherent, broad-spectrum, and unpolarized nature, results in energy exchange between the radiating body and all surrounding objects, significantly limiting heat transfer efficiency and thermal flow control. These…
