POSTECH Research Team Develops Ultra-Photostable Organic Fluorescent Molecule (PF555) to Unveil the Secrets of Intracellular Proteins.

Prof. Chengcai Chu and his team from South China Agricultural University have systematically summarized the process of genetic basis of N-dependent RSA in Arabidopsis and major crops.

Scientists at Penn State have harnessed a unique property called incipient ferroelectricity to create a new type of computer memory that could revolutionize how electronic devices work, such as using much less energy and operating in extreme environments like outer space.  

The more powerful they get, traditional curved lenses used in telescopes become bigger and bulkier. University of Utah engineers create the first flat telescope lens that can capture color while detecting light from faraway stars. This technology could transform astrophotography imaging systems, especially in applications where space is at a premium, such as on aircraft, satellites and space-based telescopes.

A Penn State engineering student refined a century-old math problem into a simpler, more elegant form, making it easier to use and explore. Divya Tyagi’s work expands research in aerodynamics, unlocking new possibilities in wind turbine design that Hermann Glauert, a British aerodynamicist and the original author, did not consider.   

Springtails, small bugs often found crawling through leaf litter and garden soil, are expert jumpers. Inspired by these hopping hexapods, roboticists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have made a walking, jumping robot that pushes the boundaries of what small robots can do.

Published in Science Robotics, the research glimpses a future where nimble microrobots can crawl through tiny spaces, skitter across dangerous ground, and sense their environments without human intervention.
