and water needed to grow food. Researchers at Cornell University and Rothamsted Research in the United kingdom successfully transplanted genes from a type of bacteria-called cyanobacteria-into tobacco plants
The genes allow the plant to produce a more efficient enzyme for converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into sugars and other carbohydrates.
Scientists have known long that some plants are much more efficient at turning carbon dioxide into sugar than other plants.

The other approach was attaching a molecule to the RNA that cells like to ingest tricking the cell into eating it.
Researchers found just the right inducement attaching a type of sugar molecule. This approach allows for the drug to be administered with a simple injection that patients could give themselves at home.
In addition to being easier to administer the new sugar-based drugs are potentially cheaper to make.

Now John Martinis a professor at University of California Santa barbara has joined Google to establish a new quantum hardware lab near the university.
Martinis has spent more than a decade working on a more proven approach to quantum computing and built some of the largest most error-free systems of qubits the basic building blocks that encode information in a quantum computer.
and make the qubits in a different way says Martinis of his effort to improve on D-Wave s hardware.
Martinis has taken a joint position with Google and UCSB that will allow him to continue his own research at the university.
Martinis s previous work has been focused on the conventional approach to quantum computing. He set a new milestone in the field this April
Martinis was a coauthor on a paper published in Science earlier this year that took the most rigorous independent look at A d-Wave machine yet.
Martinis s work on D-Wave s machine led him into talks with Google and to his new position.
Martinis thinks his technology for fabricating qubits could make better quantum annealers. Specifically he hopes to make one
Martinis has built qubits that can do that for as long as 30 microseconds he says. Martinis makes his qubits from aluminum circuits built on sapphire wafers
and chills them to 20 millikelvin a fraction above absolute zero so that they become superconducting. D-Wave s chip requires similar cooling to operate
Martinis is in the process of switching to making his own qubits on silicon and believes certain electrical insulator materials used in D-Wave s chips may be limiting its performance.

which has specific sugars in a specific location in the molecule. Professor Mendes added""Biomarkers such as glycoproteins are essential in diagnostics as they do not rely on symptoms perceived by the patient,
the sugar part of the prostate cancer glycoprotein is reacted with a custom-designed molecule that contains a boron group at one end (the boron linkage forms a reversible bond to the sugar).
The glycoprotein is then bound to the surface via its sugar groups, before the rest of the surface is blocked with a third molecule.
Within that cast, there was a special area with boron-containing molecules that can recognise a specific set of sugars.
so there's a clear need for more accurate diagnosis. By focussing on the sugar, we appear to have hit the'sweet spot'for doing just that.

#Scientists Discover Nutrient Sensor That Senses Amino acid Arginine Through a variety of mechanistic interactions mtorc1 interprets cues in the cellular environment including the availability of nutrients
and dial back metabolism when food is scarce. Owing to years of intense scrutiny in the lab of Whitehead Institute Member David Sabatini the key players of this pathway
How exactly does mtorc1 actually detect the presence of nutrients? Now it seems scientists in Sabatini's lab have at least a partial answer describing for the first time a protein that appears to sense the amino acid arginine.
Taken together such compelling evidence points to SLC38A9 as an amino acid sensor tipping off the Rags to the availability of nutrients.
Although the discovery of the first nutrient sensor in this pathway represents an important advance the researchers know much work lies ahead.
It may also prove useful in discovering concealed goods in the retail industry or for non-destructive monitoring, for example quality control in drugs or food.
