Awn imaging. Credit: TranSpread Awns, bristle-like extensions on grass crops like wheat and barley, are vital for protection and seed dispersal, with barbs on their surface playing a crucial role. While the genetic basis of barb formation has been explored through genome-wide association and genetic mapping, the detailed analysis of these small, variable structures poses a challenge. Existing methods, such as scanning electron microscopy, provide detailed visualization but lack the automation required for high-throughput analysis. Therefore, the development of advanced automatic image processing algorithms, especially deep learning-based methods, to accurately segment and analyze the complex morphology of barbs is important…

Schematic diagram of the structure and polarization conversion effects. Credit: Frontiers of Optoelectronics (2023). DOI: 10.1007/s12200-023-00098-9 Polarization is one of the fundamental characteristics of electromagnetic waves. It can convey valuable vector information in sensitive measurements and signal transmission, which is a promising technology for various fields such as environmental monitoring, biomedical sciences, and marine exploration. Particularly in the terahertz frequency range, traditional device design methods and structures can only achieve limited performance. Designing efficient modulator devices for high-bandwidth terahertz waves presents a significant challenge. Researchers led by Prof. Liang Wu at Tianjin University (TJU), China, have been conducting experiments in…

The county is among those with the biggest rise in the number of people found with weapons. Sussex had a 40 per cent jump between June 2022 and June this year, the sixth highest  in England and Wales. It was behind only Humberside, Cumbria, Staffordshire, Cheshire and London, whose increases ranged between 42 per cent and 90 per cent. Sussex was fifth highest in terms of the number of possession of weapons offences, with 2,247 in that timeframe. The shocking figures come after the fatal stabbings this year of teenagers Charlie Cosser and Mustafa Momand, who were both 17. Charlie was stabbed at a…
