This study introduces strontium aluminate particles based microneedles (MNs) patches as diverse luminescent labels for information encoding and storage during plant growth
Researchers have discovered that miR319a, a microRNA, significantly enhances poplar trees' resilience to salt stress, potentially revolutionizing tree cultivation in saline environments. This discovery sheds light on how trees maintain essential ion balance under salty conditions, paving the way for developing salt-tolerant varieties.
Scientists have unveiled a revolutionary protospacer adjacent motif (PAM)-less genome editing system using CRISPR-SpRY, marking a major advancement in soybean breeding. This innovative method eliminates the traditional PAM sequence constraints, enabling precise editing at specific loci.
A new concept termed waveguide-assisted energy quantum transfer (WEQT) is presented to improve the single emitter-cavity coupling strength by extending the interaction cross-section. Multiple ancillary emitters are optically connected by a waveguide, providing an indirect coupling channel to collect and transfer the energy quantum from target emitter to cavity. An enhancement factor >10 can be easily achieved. A photon gate with controlling bits is designed to reveal the new degrees of freedom offered by WEQT.
Significant progress in augmented reality (AR) technology has been made with the creation of holographic polymer nanocomposites. These materials exhibit a high refractive index modulation of 0.050 at 633 nm, coupled with a minimal haze of 5.0%.
All-optical terahertz modulation, an ultrafast dynamical terahertz control approach that has attracted much interest, remains limited in terms of encoding and multifunction.
Independent controls of various properties of electromagnetic (EM) waves are crucially required in a wide range of applications. Towards this goal, scientists in China proposed the concept and general theory of space-time-polarization-coding (STPC) metasurface, which adds the functionality of arbitrarily controlling polarization direction compared to space-time-coding (STC) metasurfaces. The proposed approach has a wide range of applications in various areas, such as imaging, data storage, and wireless communication.
The robust operation of quantum entanglement states is crucial in quantum information, and computation. However, it is a great challenge to complete such a task because of decoherence and disorder.
