Mature ‘Red Delicious’ apple (Malus ×domestica) cortex with functional xylem vessels-stained  pink using an acid fuchsin dye. Primary (ventral; blue circles) xylem vessels form in a ring of 10  around the dorsal (green circles) xylem vessels located next to seed locules, maximum of 5. Credit: American Society for Horticultural Science Harvesting apple (Malus × domestica) fruit at optimal horticultural maturity is critical to meeting consumer preferences and to maintain quality throughout storage. Management during harvest is complicated by uneven ripening, overlapping maturity of cultivars, and lack of labor availability. Exacerbating these complications is the tendency for apples to abscise prematurely…

Max Gilligan, from Selsey, joined the crew of volunteers at the lifeboat station 17 years later, in 1983.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) issued a notice that it’s probing Fisker’s Ocean SUV for loss of braking performance. The agency is focusing on nine complaints about the issue thus far, including one incident involving a crash and an unspecified injury. A Fisker spokesperson declined to comment. The probe comes as the company grapples with lower-than-expected demand and a failure to meet internal sales goals, which TechCrunch exclusively reported earlier this month.

Researchers have developed a platform that combines automated experiments with AI to predict how chemicals will react with one another, which could accelerate the design process for new drugs. Predicting how molecules will react is vital for the discovery and manufacture of new pharmaceuticals, but historically this has been a trial-and-error process, and the reactions often fail. To predict how molecules will react, chemists usually simulate electrons and atoms in simplified models, a process which is computationally expensive and often inaccurate. Now, researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed a data-driven approach, inspired by genomics, where automated experiments are…
