Visualizing Plant Salt Stress with a NaCl-Responsive Fluorescent Probe
Developing salt stress probes is essential for monitoring plant growth dynamics and for molecular breeding. This protocol outlines the synthesis and application of the probe for high-sensitivity live screening of salt stress mutants, including both sensitive and salt-tolerant types.
Recognising and supporting authentic learning in a changing world: the opportunities and threats of AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a contentious topic surrounded by myth, fear, innovation and enthusiasm dependent on your stance.
Selected social impact indicators influenced by materials for green energy technologies
The global shift to green energy is essential. Governments, businesses, and communities are adopting renewable technologies to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability. However, one important question often gets overlooked: What are the social risks of the green energy transition?
Deep Learning-based Fragmentation Approach for Single-Molecule Fluorescence Event Identification
By adapting user-defined criteria, DEBRIS is capable of accurately categorizing and analyzing four distinct types of single-molecule fluorescence events using a single trained AI model.
Understanding Australia’s Infectious Disease Trends Amid COVID-19: A Decade of Insights
Infectious diseases are not just a health issue—they impact daily life, the economy, and healthcare systems. Monitoring these diseases enables public health experts to predict outbreaks, identify vulnerable groups, and implement effective policies to reduce transmission and health risks.
