A biochemical breakthrough using simple carbon atoms, by Ken Yamada, Ph.D., and Anastasia Khvorova, Ph.D., has dramatically improved the stability and efficacy of a potential oligonucleotide therapeutic platform in mice. This discovery, published in Nature Biotechnology, has the potential to improve the durability of oligonucleotide drugs, including small interfering RNAs, and to bring these therapies…

Man-made emissions of nitrous oxide (N₂O) are rapidly increasing globally and are predicted to pose a growing threat to Earth’s ozone layer. In the 1970s, it was discovered that N₂O in the upper atmosphere can trigger ozone-depleting reactions through its interaction with low-energy electrons. However, the full impact of this process on the ozone layer…
A team of researchers led by Professor Xie Chengjun and Associate Professor Zhang Jie at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have developed an innovative Decoupled Feature Learning (DFL) framework inspired by causal inference to address the challenge of distribution bias in crop pest recognition. A team of researchers led…
When studying the solar spectrum, researchers often search for specific emission lines: prominent wavelengths emitted by ions as their electrons transition from higher to lower energy levels. Emission spectra of two iron ions, Fe IX and Fe X, are particularly useful for studying the sun’s outer atmosphere. However, both of these spectra contain emission lines…
