Spin Hall nano-oscillators convert DC to magnetic auto-oscillations in the microwave regime. Current research on these devices is dedicated to creating next-generation energy-efficient hardware for communication technologies. Despite intensive research on magnetic auto-oscillations within the past decade, the nanoscale mapping of those dynamics remained a challenge.

Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, are increasingly recognized as environmental contaminants with potential health risks. These emerge as breakdown products of larger plastics and are omnipresent in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems. They are primarily composed of polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and additives that enhance their performance.

Article Synopsis
  • The fungus Rhizoctonia solani poses a serious threat to rice crops by causing sheath blight disease; this study explores the use of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (SN13), a beneficial rhizobacteria, as a biological control agent for infected rice variety Swarna.
  • Untreated rice plants show significant damage from R. solani, while SN13 treatment effectively reduces fungal growth and improves plant health, indicating its potential as a protective agent.
  • The research findings highlight that SN13 triggers autophagy in rice plants, enhances defense gene expression, and increases the presence of defense-related metabolites, illustrating its role in boosting rice immunity against fungal infections.

The escalating demand for sustainable energy storage solutions, driven by the depletion of fossil fuels has stimulated extensive research in advanced battery technologies. Over the past two decades, global primary energy consumption, initially satisfied by non-renewables, has raised environmental concerns. Despite the availability of renewable sources like solar and wind, storage challenges propel innovation in batteries.

Nanostructuring can greatly improve the electrode stability of rechargeable battery systems, such as Zn-Ag. In this report, we investigate the physical mechanisms by which nanostructuring alters structural properties of nanomaterials and thereby influences the structural stability of electrodes. We specifically consider the effects of Au-based nanoscaffolds on Ag.

Objectives: Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) have a higher incidence of hearing loss (HL) compared with their peers without developmental disabilities. Little is known about the associations between HL and functional hearing for individuals with DS. This study investigated two aspects of auditory functions, "what" (understanding the content of sound) and "where" (localizing the source of sound), in young adults with DS.

Quantum photonic devices require robust sources of single photons to perform basic computational and communication protocols. Thus, developing scalable, integrable, and efficient quantum light sources has become crucial for the realization of quantum photonic devices. Single quantum dots are promising sources of quantum light due to their tunable emission wavelength.

The recent focus in the fields of biology and ecology has centered on the significant attention given to the mathematical modeling and analyzing the spatiotemporal population distribution among species engaged in interactions. This paper explores the dynamics of the temporal and spatiotemporal delayed Bazykin-type prey-predator model, incorporating fear and its carryover effect. In our model, we incorporated a functional response of the Holling-type II.

Aims: The study aimed to determine the pathogenicity of Fusarium species currently prevalent in tomato fields having history of chemical fungicide applications and determine the bio-efficacy of Bacillus subtilis NBRI-W9 as a potent biological control agent.

Methods And Results: Fusarium was isolated from surface-sterilized infected tomato plants collected from fields. Pathogenicity of 30 Fusarium isolates was determined by in vitro and in vivo assays.

This paper presents the temporal and spatiotemporal dynamics of a delayed prey-predator system with a variable carrying capacity. Prey and predator interact via a Holling type-II functional response. A detailed dynamical analysis, including well-posedness and the possibility of coexistence equilibria, has been performed for the temporal system.

The JASMONATE-ZIM DOMAIN (JAZ) repressors are crucial proteins in jasmonic acid signaling pathway that are critical for plant growth. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify and characterize OsJAZs in the rice genome, revealing their structural attributes, regulatory elements, miRNA interactions, and subcellular localization. 23 JAZ transcripts across the 6 chromosomes of rice genome were identified having conserved domains and different physiochemical characteristics.

The impact of fungicide residues on non-target soil bacterial communities is relatively unexplained. We hypothesize that the persistence of fungicide residues in the soil will affect the soil bacterial populations. Persistence depends on biotic and abiotic factors, primarily determined by agricultural activities.
