A research team has successfully assembled the first high-quality, chromosome-level genome of published findings reveal how specific genes and hormone regulatory networks drive the plant’s exceptional growth rate and stress tolerance, offering insights into its invasive nature, opening new avenues for sweet potato crop improvement.

Statisticians from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a pioneering approach for analysing population-scale metabolomic data, marking a major advancement in the precision and depth of metabolic profiling. This new method promises to improve both personalised healthcare and preventive medicine by improving the accuracy and interpretability of metabolic analyses.

A research team sheds light on the intricate regulatory mechanisms governing anthocyanin biosynthesis in horticultural plants, offering insights that could enhance plant traits and agricultural productivity.

A research study led by Oxford University has developed a powerful new technique for finding the next generation of materials needed for large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing. This could end a decades-long search for inexpensive materials that can host unique quantum particles, ultimately facilitating mass production of quantum computers. The results have been published today (29 May) in the journal Science.

Scientists at University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland have developed a powerful new tool for finding the next generation of materials needed for large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing.

The significant breakthrough means that, for the first time, researchers have found a way to determine once and for all whether a material can effectively be used in certain quantum computing microchips.
