Seeds inherit memories from their mother

By Sukhman Singh12:32 PMAll Top News -- ScienceDaily No comments:

Seeds remain in a dormant state as long as environmental conditions are not ideal for germination. The depth of this sleep is inherited from their mother. Researchers reveal how this maternal imprint is transmitted through fragments of 'interfering' RNAs, which inactivate genes, and that a similar mechanism enables to transmit another imprint, that of the temperatures present during the development of the seed. This mechanism allows the seed to optimize the timing of its germination.

New structural phase transition may broaden the applicability of photo-responsive solids

By Sukhman Singh12:45 PMTop Technology News -- ScienceDaily No comments:

Scientists discovered a new type of structural phase transition of an organic crystal called the photo-triggered phase transition. Under this phenomenon, the crystal, which exhibits a thermal phase transition that is reversible by heating and cooling, transforms to the identical phase upon light irradiation at temperatures lower than the thermal transition temperature. The photo-triggered phase transition may extend functions of photo-responsive solid materials in the future.

First explanation for mechanism behind magnetism-driven NTE derived in 40 years

By Sukhman Singh12:45 PMTop Technology News -- ScienceDaily No comments:

Most materials expand upon heating and contract upon cooling. Some behave inversely, a phenomenon known as negative thermal expansion (NTE). NTE observed in inverse perovskite antiferromagnets Mn3AN had remained unexplained for the past 40 years. However, a recent study by scientists successfully provided a theoretical explanation to this mechanism. When turn into practical use, this could help developers build more durable and heat-resistant small machine parts -- found commonly in optical, measuring and other devices.

Sound sense: Brain 'listens' for distinctive features in sounds

By Sukhman Singh12:45 PMTop Technology News -- ScienceDaily No comments:

For humans to achieve accurate speech recognition and communicate with one another, the auditory system must recognize distinct categories of sounds -- such as words -- from a continuous incoming stream of sounds. This task becomes complicated when considering the variability in sounds produced by individuals with different accents, pitches, or intonations. In a new paper, researchers detail a computational model that explores how the auditory system tackles this complex task.

New cellulose-based material gives three sensors in one

By Sukhman Singh12:45 PMTop Technology News -- ScienceDaily No comments:

Cellulose soaked in a carefully designed polymer mixture acts as a sensor to measure pressure, temperature and humidity -- at the same time. The measurements are completely independent of each other. The sensor may be highly significant in fields such as robotics, healthcare and security.

New computational tool harnesses big data, deep learning to reveal dark matter of the transcriptome

By Sukhman Singh12:45 PMTop Technology News -- ScienceDaily No comments:

A research team has developed an innovative computational tool offering researchers an efficient method for detecting the different ways RNA is pieced together (spliced) when copied from DNA. Because variations in how RNA is spliced play crucial roles in many diseases, this new analytical tool will provide greater capabilities for discovering disease biomarkers and therapeutic targets, even from RNA-sequencing data sets with modest coverage.
