RNA signals change rapidly as plants grow and adjust to their environment. Tracking these signals is difficult because traditional methods require collecting plant tissue at multiple points in time, which is slow, costly, and can miss key events. To address this, researchers developed a technology that detects specific RNA sequences and converts them into a measurable protein output, such as a fluorescent signal. This allows scientists to observe gene activity as it happens with the naked eye.

Sulfones, a class of sulfur-containing compounds, are chemically derived from the selective oxidation of sulfides. While these compounds form the core of the pharmaceuticals, solvents and polymer industries, their chemical synthesis is often hindered by high reaction temperatures and extreme reaction conditions. Additionally, these also require costly additives and harsh solvents for production.

I won't get a good job, and if I don't get a good job, I won't be able to live the kind of life I want. I'll be lonely and depressed, and what's the point of living? You start seeing life not as something to look forward to, but as something you just have to survive."
