Bananas are a staple for millions, yet their production is threatened by limited genetic diversity and breeding challenges.
Potatoes don't sprout by accident—timing is everything. A newly identified microRNA, named stu-miR319c, has been found to play a pivotal role in telling potato tubers when to break dormancy and start growing.
A research team led by Shiwei Wang at Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a novel ultrasonic-vibration-assisted re-flow machining (URM) method for ceramic gels. This technique enables high-precision, non-destructive machining of ceramics in their wet gel state, overcoming limitations of traditional machining techniques. The method allows drilling, slotting, and removing without introducing cracks, offering a potential approach to manufacturing complex ceramic components.
