We are delighted to announce that the Technology in Horticulture is now indexed in Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).

Researchers at the University of Helsinki performed acoustic impulse response measurements in front of 37 rock painting site and found that the same vertical rock surfaces that have the painted elks, humans and boats, are also effective sound reflectors.

Researchers from CIC nanoGUNE, in collaboration with international partners, have achieved the first seamless 2D spintronics device made entirely from proximitized structures. They report a two-dimensional graphene spin valve that is enabled by proximity to the van der Waals magnet Cr₂Ge₂Te₆. Published in Nature Electronics, this innovative work lays the groundwork for a new research field and advancements in spintronics technology.

A team of researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), belonging to the LARS-IIAMA group, has used satellite technology to detect methane emissions in the palm oil industry in Indonesia, Malaysia and Colombia. Their study, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, represents a new advance in the use of this technology to identify sources of greenhouse gas emissions. These leaks were already known, but this is the first time a scientific study has provided maps and images showing how the methane escapes.

POSTECH and UNIST introduce the innovative “UniMat” platform utilizing 3D engineered nanofiber membrane

In a groundbreaking study recently published online in the journal Nature Photonics, a team of researchers has successfully demonstrated nonlinear Compton scattering (NCS) between an ultra-relativistic electron beam and an ultrahigh intensity laser pulse using the 4-Petawatt laser at the Center for Relativistic Laser Science (CoReLS) within the Institute for Basic Science at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Korea. The innovative approach was the usage of only a laser for electron-photon collisions, in which a multi-PW laser is applied both for particle acceleration and for collision (also called an all-optical setup). This achievement represents a significant milestone in strong field physics, in particular strong field quantum electrodynamics (QED), offering new insights into high-energy electron-photon interactions without the need for a traditional mile-long particle accelerator.

The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) announced that it has developed a method for synthesizing polymers based on ion-electron mixed conductors through collaborative research with Dr. Jang Ji-soo of KIST's Center for Electronic Materials Research and Professor Mingjiang Zhong of Yale University in the United States.
