Vì sao Đông Nam Á cần hành động sớm đối với cáp điện ngầm dưới biển
Cáp điện ngầm dưới biển ngày càng đóng vai trò quan trọng đối với các nền kinh tế có sự kết nối. Các tuyến cáp này liên kết hệ thống điện qua biển, cho phép điện năng từ một khu vực được truyền qua lưới điện đến người tiêu dùng và doanh nghiệp tại khu vực khác. Việc tăng cường kết nối cũng có thể giảm phụ thuộc vào bất kỳ nguồn cung đơn lẻ nào -chẳng hạn thủy điện trong thời kỳ hạn hán liên quan đến El Niño.
Singapore’s first AI-related data breach underscores the catch-22 SMEs are in
ON OCT 1, 2026, it was reported that more than 95,000 customers’ e-mail addresses had been exposed, after an employee of Bee Cheng Hiang used an artificial intelligence tool to help generate code for a marketing e-mail programme. The Personal Data Protection Commission’s investigation found that AI was used to assist with writing code that subsequently handled a local mailing list. The code was deployed without adequate testing and review.

Importance of E-Learning Anytime and Anywhere
E-learning promises to increase learning productivity in corporations quite unlike any other form of learning initiatives. Moreover, the rationale is straightforward: rather than travelling to one place and staying there to be trained, it would be great if the learner could learn right from where he or she is working, using the very computing devices he or she has in hand.
Triploidy is prominent in the duckweed Lemna minor complex
|
Abstract Duckweeds (Lemnaceae Martinov) are aquatic monocotyledonous plants known to be the smallest and fastest-growing flowering plants on Earth. Many species are morphologically indistinguishable due to their reduced structures, yet molecular evidence suggests that visually similar clones could be distinct species or hybrids. Using a comprehensive suite of genomic, molecular and cytogenetic methods, we analyzed 58 presumed Lemna minor clones to resolve their relationships.

Genome sequence assembly of the 5S rDNA loci informs haplotype specificity and evolution in the greater duckweed Spirodela polyrhiza - Communications Biology
Abstract Despite the rapid expansion of information on eukaryotic genomes, data on ribosomal DNA (rDNA) loci encoding ribosomal RNAs, crucial for the biogenesis of ribosomes, are absent in almost all cases due to difficulties in assembling the long regions of tandemly repeated DNA units. Taking advantage of the uniquely low rDNA copy number in the aquatic plant Spirodela polyrhiza, we resolved the species’ complete 5S rDNA architecture at a nucleotide level.
Plant metacaspases orchestrate wound‐induced pathways for immunity and tissue regeneration
INTRODUCTION As sessile organisms, it is essential for plants to constantly survey their environment and make the necessary changes in their growth and development to maintain homeostasis and optimize fitness. In addition to pathogenic microbes, plants are constantly challenged by herbivorous predators and by mechanical damage from environmental factors.
How small island states can secure an affordable energy future
Small island developing states are among the most vulnerable to climate impacts, including sea level rise, flooding, and extreme weather, despite contributing low global greenhouse gas emissions. These island nations are also heavily reliant on costly imported fossil fuels to meet their energy needs. So when we talk about energy transition in a Pacific context, it’s important to be clear about why this matters.

Structural determinants for pH-dependent activation of a plant metacaspase - Nature Communications
Abstract Arabidopsis thaliana metacaspase 9 (AtMC9) plays roles in clearing dead cells, forming xylem vessels, and regulating immunity and programmed cell death in plants. The protease’s activation is controlled by pH levels, but the exact structural mechanism behind this has not been elucidated. In this work, we report high-resolution crystal structures for AtMC9 under both active (pH 5.5 and pH 4.2) and inactive (pH 7.5) conditions.

An entrepreneur must embrace these 6 parts of life to avoid insanity.
I first wrote for Technode in 2021 about the 6 things life throws at me as an entrepreneur that I have learned to embrace. I was then running my startup. Now that I have gotten out of that grind, started new companies with other co-founders, and spoken to even more people, I wanted to refresh this piece with more insights that I have learned since then. It all started when I was invited by a school in Singapore to share my thoughts with a group of students on what it’s like to be an entrepreneur.

Abstract Neutrophils are dynamic with their phenotype and function shaped by the microenvironment, such as the N1 antitumor and N2 pro-tumor states within the tumor microenvironment (TME), but its regulation remains undefined. Here we examine TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling in tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients. Smad3 activation in N2 TANs is negatively correlate with the N1 population and patient survival.

Targeting epiregulin in the treatment-damaged tumor microenvironment restrains therapeutic resistance - Oncogene
Abstract The tumor microenvironment (TME) represents a milieu enabling cancer cells to develop malignant properties, while concerted interactions between cancer and stromal cells frequently shape an “activated/reprogramed” niche to accelerate pathological progression. Here we report that a soluble factor epiregulin (EREG) is produced by senescent stromal cells, which non-cell-autonomously develop the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) upon DNA damage.
