Today, researchers have developed a new type of laser that utilizes thorium-229, a radioactive isotope of thorium, to produce light in the visible spectrum. This new type of laser, called a thorium nuclear transition laser (TNTR), has the potential to revolutionize the laser industry, as it is much more efficient than current lasers and has the potential to be used in a number of applications. The TNTR laser produces light by utilizing the energy from thorium-229’s decay, which releases a gamma ray that excites electrons in the laser medium, which then produces light.

Scientists have recently developed a new gene-editing tool that could potentially revolutionize the productivity of rice crops. Dubbed “CRISPR-Cas12a,” this tool is a modified version of the popular CRISPR-Cas9 system, which has already been used to make numerous improvements to plant genomes. With CRISPR-Cas12a, scientists are now able to edit multiple sites in the genome at once, making it easier to insert multiple genes into a single rice cell. This could potentially lead to increased crop yields, as well as more drought- and pest-resistant varieties of rice.
