UC San Diego chemistry's Mike Burkart has found a bio-based method to manufacture polyurethanes used in everyday goods. This new method is a less toxic, environmentally friendly alternative to current production methods.

MIT researchers developed a scalable interconnect that facilitates all-to-all communication among many quantum processor modules by enabling each to send and receive quantum information on demand in a user-specified direction. They used the interconnect to demonstrate remote entanglement, a type of correlation that is key to creating a powerful, distributed network of quantum processors.

Peking University, April  2, 2025: A team from Peking University’s College of Future Technology, led by Professor Xi Peng, in collaboration with Professor Jin Dayong at the Eastern Institute of Technology, has achieved a major breakthrough in imaging 15 cellular structures simultaneously by using lipid membrane probes to label all membrane-bound organelles, combined with dual-color spinning-disk confocal microscopy and deep learning. Their study, titled "Fast Segmentation and Multiplexing Imaging of Organelles in Live Cells", published in Nature Communications (DOI:10.1038/s41467-025-57877-5), utilizes Nile Red dye, spinning-disk confocal microscopy, and deep learning to overcome limitations in traditional fluorescent imaging.

A research team using EST-SSR molecular marker technology reveals vital information on the genetic diversity and structure of nine natural populations of Phoebe bournei, providing a scientific foundation for the conservation and sustainable use of its germplasm resources.
