Rhizobial motility preference in root colonization of Medicago truncatula
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 547-562, April 2026.Summary Tunnel‐like infection thread (IT) structures support root colonization by symbiotic nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria in most legume species. These tip‐grown structures are key to directing rhizobia from root hairs to developing nodules, where they are hosted to fix nitrogen.

Cas9‐Embedding Hyperactive TadA8e Confers Efficient and Highly Specific A‐To‐G Base Editing in Rice
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2576-2591, April 2026.ABSTRACT Adenine base editors (ABEs) produce precise A‐to‐G conversion in the genomic target sites without causing double‐strand breaks. However, the hyperactive adenosine deaminase TadA8e raises safety concerns on genome‐wide off‐target edits. We engineered 11 chimeric proteins for ABEs (CP‐ABEs) by embedding hyperactive TadA8e within Cas9 nickase to ...

Insights From Two Decades of Seismicity at Columbia Glacier
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract We use Columbia Glacier as a case study to demonstrate how seismically cataloged calving events in Alaska can track glacier evolution over two decades. By combining this catalog—a serendipitous byproduct of earthquake monitoring—with terminus positions, bathymetry, glacier thickness, surface velocity, and environmental records, we show how ...

Monte Carlo Simulation of 3D Cloud Radiance Distributions Affected by Ground‐Based Lighting
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract Satellite observations of artificial light sources at night are increasing. Clouds, as the most important radiative modulators in the Earth‐atmosphere system, significantly influence the observed values and spatial distribution of the artificial light coming from the ground.

Super‐Resolution Imaging With Fluorotellurite Glass Microspheres
Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Microsphere lenses made from fluorotellurite glass with a high refractive index and excellent transparency were used to develop a super‐resolution imaging technique and ultramicroscopic objective modules. This approach enables efficient, stable, and precisely controllable imaging with broad potential in life sciences and nanotechnology.

Compression‐Tension‐Asymmetry and Stiffness Nonlinearity of Collagen‐Matrigel Composite Hydrogels
Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 9, 6 March 2026.Self‐assembled collagen hydrogel matrices are widely used in tissue engineering applications. These matrices stiffen and contract laterally under tension due to fiber alignment and soften and collapse under compression due to fiber buckling. It is demonstrated that filler materials, such as Matrigel, linearize the mechanical behavior of collagen ...
