Lei et al. show that HLS1 negatively regulates plant senescence and the ABS3-mediated senescence pathway by interacting with ATG8 and attenuating the ABS3-ATG8 interaction and the ability of ABS3 to promote senescence. Their study provides insights into the functional link between HLS1, ABS3, and ATG8 in plant senescence regulation.

Since the beginning of time, man has been interested in what happens after death.

Although there are numerous traditional answers to this question, it’s possible that scholars have added countless more ideas merely to provide some variation.

According to Robert Lanza, M.D., death is just a doorway to an endless number of universes. Furthermore, according to Lanza, everything that may possibly happen in our lifetime has already happened. He continues by saying that death does not exist in these situations because all of these possibilities are happening at the same time. We only connect our consciousness to our physical bodies because of the energy that flows through our brains.

Construction of what would be the world’s longest suspension bridge is scheduled to begin this year, according to the Italian government.

The bridge between the island of Sicily and the Italian mainland would cross over the Strait of Messina, a distance of 3,300 meters, though the construction has to grapple with tectonic activity that could cause earthquakes.

But one key challenge stands in the way: speed.

To be reliable, quantum computers must perform calculations and error corrections before their fragile quantum bits, or qubits, lose coherence.

Now, MIT researchers have built a new superconducting circuit that could dramatically speed up this process.

Scientists are working to send quantum information through existing fiber networks. This shift could save billions in infrastructure costs and speed up the arrival of quantum-powered technologies.

Unlike regular data, quantum communication sends information through single photons. These photons hold fragile quantum states that are easy to disturb. That makes sharing fiber lines with classical Internet traffic a serious technical challenge.

Classical signals, especially those powered by lasers, flood the fiber with light. This generates a kind of noise called inelastic scattering. One type, known as spontaneous Raman scattering, floods the line with stray photons that can drown out the quantum signals.
