Nucleo-cytoplasmic interaction in seedless cybrid citrus
Male sterility is important for seedless citrus breeding. A long juvenile phase and nucellar polyembryony leads to low efficiency of hybrid breeding in citrus. The Citrus research group in National Key Laboratory for Germplasm Innovation & Utilizatio.....»»
The disappearance of vultures can have unforeseen consequences, including for humans
Vultures are often associated with death, but some vulture species are themselves at risk of extinction. What can their fate tell us about the interaction between humans and the natural world in our time?.....»»
Glucagon receptor structures uncover new arrestin interaction mechanism
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are essential for cell signal transduction and constitute the largest drug target protein family. Upon agonist stimulation, these receptors activate multiple downstream transducers, including G proteins and arresti.....»»
Acoustic emission monitoring technique, an essential way to analyze pulsed laser processing
Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring is used to reveal the interaction mechanisms in pulsed laser processing of float glass. Circular ablated pits and irregular shaped cracks are formed on the float glass's upper surface by the pulsed laser dotting. By.....»»
Novel technology may lead to improved citrus varieties
Developing disease-resistant, high-quality improved crop varieties to benefit agricultural producers and consumers may seem like a "hairy" task, but Texas A&M AgriLife Research scientists may have gotten to the root of the issue......»»
Investigating interactions at molecular junctions for novel electronic devices
The structure of a molecular junction with noncovalent interaction plays a key role in electron transport, reveals a recent study conducted by researchers at Tokyo Tech. Through simultaneous surface-enhanced Raman scattering and current–voltage mea.....»»
Nuclear charge distribution measurements may solve outstanding puzzle in particle physics
What scientists call the "nuclear weak distribution" describes the distribution of "active" protons in a nucleus. These are protons that are eligible to transition into neutrons through what scientists call the "weak interaction.".....»»
Scientists reveal molecular interaction of carbon/nitrogen metabolism in rice
Carbon and nitrogen are the two most abundant nutrients for all living organisms. The metabolism of carbon and nitrogen is tightly coupled and coordinated by different metabolites and signaling pathways. What are the molecular mechanisms that sense a.....»»

Exploring how ocean dynamics affect transport of sargassum seaweed
With the waves inside the 49-foot-long Air-Sea Interaction Saltwater Tank (ASIST) looking like small ripples rushing to a shoreline, University of Miami doctoral student Katie Simi stood on a small step ladder and dropped a clump of sargassum seaweed.....»»
Metasurface enables strong coupling effects between light and transition metal dichalcogenides
The interaction of light and matter on the nanoscale is a vital aspect of nanophotonics. Resonant nanosystems allow scientists to control and enhance electromagnetic energy at volumes smaller than the wavelength of the incident light. As well as allo.....»»
A novel solution to safeguard Japan"s unique citrus cultivars and their breeders" rights
Citrus cultivation holds significant importance in Japan and has recently attracted both domestic and global attention. With an agricultural production value of approximately 201 billion yen, citrus is the third most important agricultural product in.....»»
Quantum interference can protect and enhance photoexcitation
When a photon interacts with a material, an interaction occurs that causes its atoms to change their quantum state (a description of the physical properties of nature at the atomic level). The resulting state is called, aptly, photoexcitation. These.....»»
Apple"s visionOS keyboard is extremely thoughtfully designed
Apple's virtual keyboard in visionOS has a high level of attention to detail, with many small elements combining to make a great UI interaction for a non-physical peripheral.Keyboard in visionOSOne of the problems with new platforms is a need to come.....»»

New study explains interaction between quantized vortices and normal fluids
Osaka Metropolitan University scientists investigated numerically the interaction between a quantized vortex and a normal fluid. Based on the experimental results, researchers decided the most consistent of several theoretical models. They found that.....»»
A simple model to evaluate skeletal muscle-macrophage interaction during skeletal muscle regeneration
A research group led by Dr. Naoya Kase and Prof. Megumu Saito have successfully established a model to evaluate skeletal muscle regeneration efficiency and determine how macrophages contribute to the process by using a simple culture method that does.....»»
Study establishes molecular basis for interaction between essential protein complex and its regulator
The labs of Lauren Jackson, associate professor of biological sciences and biochemistry, and Todd Graham, Stevenson Professor of Biological Sciences at the College of Arts and Science and professor of cell and developmental biology, recently publishe.....»»
LLMs to pave way for direct human interaction to enter into home-use robot market, says DIGITIMES Research
The methods for humans to interact with and operate robots are gradually being simplified and the keen development of large language models (LLM) is expected to drive up the popularization of the natural language interaction method, which is intuitiv.....»»
Study reveals key molecular interaction that sets the timing of our biological clocks
Molecular clocks in our cells synchronize our bodies with the cycle of night and day, cue us for sleep and waking, and drive daily cycles in virtually every aspect of our physiology. Scientists studying the molecular mechanisms of our biological cloc.....»»
Study reveals color changes in China"s 2,550 lakes over past 40 years
