Tomato science: Unraveling the genetic keys to thriving under nitrate stress
A cutting-edge studystudy has uncovered the pivotal role of the sltrxh protein in tomatoes in managing nitrate stress—a growing challenge in modern agriculture. The research highlights that s-nitrosation, a key post-translational modification of sltrxh, significantly enhances the plant’s ability to tolerate high nitrate levels. This discovery marks a promising step toward developing crop varieties with improved resistance to nitrogen stress, addressing both agricultural and environmental concerns.
Innovative vortex beam technology unleashes ultra-secure, high-capacity data transmission
A new method has been developed to create optical vortices with spatial-frequency patching metasurfaces. These “super-capacity perfect vector vortex beams” offer significantly increased data transmission capacity by utilizing multiple dimensions, including beam morphology, polarization azimuth, and ellipticity angle.
Dragon 5 unleashed: charting new frontiers in earth science
The journal Geo-Spatial Information Science will soon release a special issue showcasing the mid-term achievements of the China-Europe Earth Observation project, “Dragon 5.” Launched in July 2020, the initiative has made significant strides in Earth sciences, fostering cross-border collaboration and advancing the use of satellite data.
Deciphering city skies: AI unveils GNSS error identification
Faced with the persistent challenge of Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) errors in urban Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) navigation, researchers have introduced an innovative solution powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). By leveraging the Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), this method analyzes multiple GNSS signal features to accurately identify and differentiate NLOS errors.
New report suggests open data on edge of becoming a recognized global standard for scholarly output
New analysis in the State of Open Data 2024 report suggests that open data practice is now on the edge of becoming a standard, recognized and supported scholarly output, globally.
Prescriptive multi-group networks: Humanoid service robots’ value co-creation and co-destruction potentials in apparel stores
Abstract Drawing upon a theoretical foundation within service-dominant logic, this study analyzed multi-group networks of humanoid service robots (HSRs) and investigated the differences in the structures and relations between groups that adopted and rejected HSRs. Moreover, it explored the most…
Family involvement in management and risk-taking of family firms: The moderating role of kinship composition
Abstract Corporate risk-taking is a crucial factor that influences firm growth, performance, and survival. Based on the socioemotional wealth and agency theories, we investigate the effect of family involvement in management on risk-taking by considering the moderating role of kinship…

From Liberal Arts to Leadership in Nuclear Physics
Mark Kevin Jones is a true Renaissance man in nuclear physics. Throughout his career, he has garnered many accomplishments, and he’s even worn quite a few hats in his three decades at Jefferson Lab. Now, Jones has been recognized for his work by his peers by being named a Fellow of the American Physical Society “For scientific leadership in experimental studies of the fundamental nucleon electromagnetic form factors, including the surprising discovery of significant variation in the large momentum behavior of the proton electric form factor, and for developing new detection systems enabling the studies.”
Breakthrough obesity treatment: a micro cure for a big problem
University of South Australia researchers have created a new, food-grade, natural solution for obesity, that not only cuts the kilos and improves metabolic health but does so without the nasty side effects.
