Fungal Foe Fended Off: DNA Demethylation Boosts Tomato Resistance
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A recent study discovered that applying 5-Azacytidine, a DNA methylation inhibitor, significantly reduces tomato susceptibility to gray mold, a common postharvest fungal disease. This epigenetic strategy enhances the fruit's natural defense system, offering a sustainable and innovative method to boost crop resistance without genetic modification.

Light People: Professor Che Ting Chan,curiosity drives to create the impossibilities
Chinese Academy of Sciences

"When something is said to be impossible, there are two points for researchers to initially clarify: whether it really is forbidden by the laws of nature; or whether it is simply that no material that currently exists in nature can do that." Metamaterials are such magical beings, which have physical properties like invisibility, negative refraction, super-resolution, and perfect absorption that are absent from natural materials. It has been rated by Science as one of the top ten scientific and technological breakthroughs affecting human beings in the 21st century.

UW researchers develop a stretchable, wearable device that lights up an LED using only the warmth of your skin
University of Washington

University of Washington researchers have developed a flexible, durable electronic prototype that can harvest energy from body heat and turn it into electricity that can be used to power small electronics, such as batteries, sensors or LEDs. This device is also resilient — it still functions even after being pierced several times and then stretched 2,000 times.

Streamlining energy regulations on Native American reservations could help alleviate poverty
University of Wisconsin–Madison

Land was once set aside as Native American reservations because it was undesirable and low in resources, but now interested Native Americans may have economic leverage in the growing industry of clean energy. A team of researchers led by UW–Madison professors Dominic Parker and Sarah Johnston quantified the economic potential of wind and solar energy projects on these lands and discussed the regulatory barriers for tribes wishing to tap into it.
