Michigan State University chemist Weiwei Xie knows a thing or two about working under pressure. Leveraging extreme forces similar to those found deep within our planet, her lab is pioneering the discovery of novel quantum materials with exciting electronic and magnetic properties.
In this insightful interview, Dr. Nitin Agarwal, director of the Collaboratorium at the University of Arkansas Little Rock, discusses the evolving landscape of misinformation on social media. With years of research under his belt, Dr. Agarwal highlights how digital platforms, once seen as forces for positive change, have become breeding grounds for disinformation and cognitive threats.
The latest addition to the computational arsenal of Jefferson Lab is an extraordinary machine with the admittedly ordinary name of 鈥24s.鈥 The 24s cluster at Jefferson Lab will work to unlock the mysteries of the nucleus of the atom. It was funded by the Nuclear and Particle Physics LQCD Computing Initiative of DOE鈥檚 Office of Nuclear Physics.
Researchers from the University of Chicago recently developed a new approach for identifying new cellular RNA targets of snoRNAs. They uncovered thousands of previously unknown targets for snoRNAs in human cells and mouse brain tissues, including many that serve functions other than guiding rRNA modifications.
A recent breakthrough in biotechnology promises to change the landscape of plant genetic engineering. Imagine a persistent invader鈥擜grobacterium鈥攍ong used to deliver genes into plants. Despite its historical success, the journey has been fraught with setbacks, especially with crops that launch fierce immune defenses. But now, scientists have equipped this bacterial 鈥渋nvader鈥 with powerful tools to conquer plant resistance, opening up new possibilities in agriculture and genetic research.
Normally found only in heavy metal bands or certain post-apocalyptic films, a 鈥渇lame-throwing guitar鈥 has now been spotted moving through space. Astronomers have captured movies of this extreme cosmic object using NASA鈥檚 Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope.
A recent study has unraveled the intricate cellular blueprint behind the iconic fragrance of Prunus mume flowers. Using state-of-the-art single-cell RNA sequencing, researchers have constructed a high-resolution map of gene expression within petal cells across blooming stages. This atlas not only identifies six key cell types but also pinpoints the genetic pathways responsible for floral scent production. These discoveries mark a significant leap forward in understanding floral scent biosynthesis and could open new doors to cultivating aromatic plant varieties and innovations in the fragrance industry.

The Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University, invites faculty members, students, staff, and interested individuals to attend an academic lecture titled 鈥淪patial Prescription: An Exploration of How Architecture and Spatial Design Can Serve as Solutions to Analyze and Remedy Social Challenges鈥 by Prof. Hyunjoon Yoo from Hongik University and Hyunjoon Yoo Architects. The lecture will take place on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Auditorium of the Faculty of Architecture Library, Chulalongkorn University. This is part of the 鈥淎rchitecture and Design for Society Lecture Series AY2024.鈥
Chulalongkorn University congratulates Associate Professor Dr. Rungpetch C. Sakulbumrungsil, former Dean of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chulalongkorn University, on receiving the 2024 FAPA Ishidate Award in the field of Pharmacy Education. The award, presented by the Federation of Asian Pharmaceutical Associations (FAPA), honors pharmacists who have made significant contributions to the field. The award ceremony took place during the opening of the FAPA Congress 2024 on October 31, 2024, in Seoul, South Korea.
A recent discovery has unveiled a key regulatory module in grapes that governs fruit set, a vital phase for determining yield and quality. This research sheds light on the molecular mechanisms influenced by N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N鈥-phenylurea (CPPU), a plant hormone-like compound known for enhancing fruit set, and opens new doors for revolutionizing grape cultivation and productivity.
A recent study has decoded the complete genome of Forsythia suspensa, a plant renowned for its medicinal value and decorative appeal. The research delivers a flawless, gap-free genome assembly, uncovering the complex architecture of centromeres vital to genetic stability. This advancement offers a detailed genetic map, setting the stage for future breakthroughs in ecological management and medical research.
