ASPIRIN IN PLANTS. "Extensive cross-communication between the hormone signaling pathways allows for fine tuning of transcriptional programs, determining resistance to invaders and trade-offs with plant development." https://lnkd.in/e4rD_UV View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM TELEPORTATION ON A CHIP. "New photonic chips for quantum teleportation have been demonstrated, which open the door for ultra-high speed and secure quantum computers. Quantum Bits (qubits) are quantum versions of today's 0's and 1's (bits) and are the foundation of quantum computing, and best manipulated by photons." (2015). https://lnkd.in/e34RXbQ View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM COMPUTING. "Now, researchers from the University of Bristol in the UK and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) in Japan, have pulled off the same feat for light in the quantum world by developing an optical chip that can process photons in an infinite number of ways." https://lnkd.in/eBy3eTp View in LinkedIn

REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY. "The microprocessor inside a computer is a single multipurpose chip has revolutionised people’s life..." https://lnkd.in/eBy3eTp View in LinkedIn

MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH. "The technology behind quantum teleportation is about to take a major leap forward: English and Japanese scientists have successfully condensed the massive apparatus needed to teleport a single piece of quantum data by shrinking its core circuit to a penny-sized microchip, a crucial first step toward integrating an ultra-high-speed quantum computer onto a photonic chip."

TELEPORTATION. "You can teleport a single atom from one place to another." Useful primarily to build quantum computers. But far away from Star Trek. https://lnkd.in/e9KSxrM View in LinkedIn

SPIT SIGNAL. "Herbivore-induced volatiles are attractors of natural predators of the attacking herbivores. The emission of these volatiles is increased by oral secretion products from herbivores." https://lnkd.in/eSPYN6W View in LinkedIn

PREDATOR TRIGGERS. "Thus far, two oral secretion products from chewing insects have been identified that augment the release of plant volatiles. A β-glucosidase present in the regurgitant of Pieris brassicae caterpillars triggers the same emissions of volatiles in cabbage plants as induced by feeding caterpillars." https://lnkd.in/etUrY6F View in LinkedIn

FINE PRINT. "Recent work suggests that volatile emissions and other plant defense responses are potentiated by a component or components associated with the feeding herbivore that allows the plant to differentiate between general wounding and damage due to chewing insects." https://lnkd.in/etUrY6F View in LinkedIn

COMMON LANGUAGE. "The structural uniformity in the chemical emissions from different plants with insect feeding suggests the activation of a common set of biosynthetic pathways shared by a wide range of plant families, and that the products are detectable to a broad spectrum of insect parasitoids and predators." https://lnkd.in/etUrY6F View in LinkedIn
