Protons and neutrons–known collectively as nucleons–are both the building blocks of matter, but one of these particles has received a bit more attention in certain types of nuclear physics experiments. Until now. New results published in Physical Review Letters describe a first-time direct glimpse of the internal structure of the neutron thanks to the development of a special, 10-years-in-the-making detector installed in Experimental Hall B at Jefferson Lab.

A recent breakthrough in biotechnology promises to change the landscape of plant genetic engineering. Imagine a persistent invader—Agrobacterium—long used to deliver genes into plants. Despite its historical success, the journey has been fraught with setbacks, especially with crops that launch fierce immune defenses. But now, scientists have equipped this bacterial “invader” with powerful tools to conquer plant resistance, opening up new possibilities in agriculture and genetic research.

A recent study has unraveled the intricate cellular blueprint behind the iconic fragrance of Prunus mume flowers. Using state-of-the-art single-cell RNA sequencing, researchers have constructed a high-resolution map of gene expression within petal cells across blooming stages. This atlas not only identifies six key cell types but also pinpoints the genetic pathways responsible for floral scent production. These discoveries mark a significant leap forward in understanding floral scent biosynthesis and could open new doors to cultivating aromatic plant varieties and innovations in the fragrance industry.
