Thanks to a revolutionary new technology, scientists from the National Institute for Agricultural Research (Inrae) have succeeded in modifying the DNA of a cherry tomato. The goal ? Making it resistant to potyviruses, which are the largest group of RNA viruses that plants suffer from, reports The Parisian.Molecular scissorsIt was by observing peppers and peas that a researcher from Avignon found the parade. Indeed, some cultivated species have a genetic mutation that makes them naturally resistant to viral diseases. This...

Don't have a fiber optic connection yet? It doesn't matter, air will do too. At least for a team led by electrical engineer Andrew Goffin from the University of Maryland: As early as 2021, the researchers sent a laser beam through their institute hallway and melted a hole in the wall almost 50 meters away. Like the laser physicists now in the specialist journal Physical Review X to report, the air practically became a fiber optic cable - with a...
