When QDs Meet BPLCEs: Visualized Full-Color and Mechanically-Switchable CPL
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Full-color CPL is achieved by doping different quantum dots (QDs) into reconfigurable blue phase liquid crystal elastomers (BPLCE). Unlike with CPL in the cholesteric phase, BPLCE induces opposite CPL signal, entirely independent of photonic bandgaps (PBGs) and yielding a higher glum value even without matching between PBGs and emission bands of QDs.

Why some plant diseases thrive in urban environments
Washington University in St. Louis

Something about city life seems to suit powdery mildew, a fungal disease that afflicts many plants, including leaves of garden vegetables and roadside weeds. A new study from biologists at Washington University in St. Louis finds that plants in the city of St. Louis had significantly more mildew than those in the suburbs or countryside.

'Hybrid’ disaster response shows how localization saves lives
University of Notre Dame

In August 2021, an earthquake struck southwest Haiti, killing thousands of people and leaving more than half a million seeking help. Assessment of this disaster and its response can serve as a model for evaluating future disasters and making life-saving improvements, according to new research from the University of Notre Dame.

Organic farming can support soil microorganisms that promote plant defenses and reduce insect pests. But not all organic practices are equally beneficial for soil microbes, and it’s important to understand farmer motivations in order to encourage the adoption of microbiome-supportive efforts. A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Cornell University looks at how organic farmers’ beliefs about the microbiome influence their soil management practices.

Humans can learn a lot from nature, especially when dealing with climate change and other environmental issues. A clean energy future relies on us reducing our dependency on fossil fuels, breaking down waste, and storing atmospheric carbon. Biofuels made from decomposing living things or biological waste are a potential alternative to fossil fuels.
