Rapid wheat improvement by genome editing

Genome editing is a method of altering the DNA sequence of a target gene, which can rapidly improve traits not previously observed in crops. In addition, unlike previous ...

Discovery of fully-gapped topological superconductors with potential applications in quantum computing

Electric currents do not dissipate energy in superconductors because electrons in these materials move without resistive forces. Recent research shows that some superconductors can host surface states known as Majorana excitations that have potential applications in new ...

Mechanism of photosynthetic water oxidation revealed by intermediate state structures analyzed by an X-ray free electron laser

Photosynthetic water oxidation produces electrons, protons and molecular oxygen from water using light energy from the sun, thereby providing molecular oxygen in the atmosphere and reducing power for the reduction of CO2 into sugars. This reaction is catalyzed by ...
