8+ hour, 2+ min ago   (317+ words) | Newswise Newswise Gene editing breakthrough unlocks new possibilities for lisianthus breeding Through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of the EgPDS in Eustoma grandiflorum. Despite its commercial importance, lisianthus has lagged behind other ornamental crops in genetic improvement. Conventional breeding via F1 hybridization cannot…...

2+ day, 15+ hour ago   (455+ words) Kranthi K. Mandadi, Ph.D., led research that contributed to speeding up a process for growing gene edited plants from cells. Newswise — Editing a plant’s genes is only half the battle. Before a new, improved trait can ever reach a farmer’s field,…...

2+ day, 19+ hour ago   (330+ words) Functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, gives researchers a powerful way to study brain activity. But the scans can be incredibly noisy for patients and research subjects, with peak sound levels reaching 120 to 138 decibels — about as loud as a jackhammer....

2+ day, 21+ hour ago   (290+ words) New research from the University of Maryland Robert H. Smith School of Business provides an answer. Published in Transactions on Engineering and Computing Sciences, “Cybersecurity Budgeting: A Cyber Risk Perspective” is co‑authored by Lawrence A. Gordon, EY Alumni Professor of…...

3+ day, 1+ hour ago   (193+ words) | Newswise Newswise 1,000 Times Faster Operations Bring Reliable Quantum Computing A Step Closer So far, quantum computers have been held back by their extreme sensitivity to errors and external disturbances. The longer a quantum operation takes, the greater the risk that…...

3+ day, 10+ hour ago   (554+ words) It’s just one way researchers in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment use AI to create solutions for challenges in the construction industry. They also use AI to develop human-centered construction technologies, study how workers learn with…...

3+ day, 20+ hour ago   (314+ words) | Newswise Newswise GAP-free broccoli genome reveals the gene behind purple buds Broccoli is valued for vitamins, fiber, sulforaphane and anthocyanins, pigments that contribute to both nutritional properties and colors ranging from green to deep purple. Yet the crop’s highly repetitive…...

4+ day, 16+ hour ago   (904+ words) Researchers at Argonne are shaping the nanoscience frontier, using atomic‑scale control to accelerate advances in electronics, energy storage, catalysis, sensing and medicine. Look closely enough at any material, and its familiar surface resolves into a world built from atoms…...

4+ day, 11+ hour ago   (592+ words) Industry has the floor at Materials and Manufacturing Innovation Days (M2IND), where panelists discuss hydropower supply chain challenges to help guide ORNL research.
