Soft x-ray high-harmonic generation in an anti-resonant hollow core fiber driven by a 3 μm ultrafast laser

High-harmonic upconversion driven by a mid-infrared femtosecond laser can generate coherent soft x-ray beams in a tabletop-scale setup. Here, we report on a compact ytterbium-pumped optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier (OPCPA) laser s...

Empirical research on the evolution trend of heat and sentiment for emergencies

Emergencies inflict heavy casualties, economic losses, ecological damage, and significant social harm to society. By segmenting information topics and analysing emotional shifts, we can identify corresponding real-world events and their imp...

Siderophore-Mediated Interactions Determine the Disease Suppressiveness of Microbial Consortia

ABSTRACT Interactions between plant pathogens and root-associated microbes play an important role in determining disease outcomes. While several studies have suggested that steering these interactions may improve plant health, such approach...

Vitamin Deficiencies in Humans: Can Plant Science Help?

The term vitamin describes a small group of organic compounds that are absolutely required in the human diet. Although for the most part, dependency criteria are met in developed countries through balanced diets, this is not the case for th...
