Important role of plastid ion channels in plant stress response identified
When plants are attacked by herbivores or pathogens, they must respond rapidly while also preparing for potential future attacks. Calcium, a cellular second messenger, and the plant hormone jasmonic acid play important roles in this response. Within seconds of an injury, the plant generates calcium waves that relay information about the attack. At the same time, the synthesis of jasmonic acid is initiated in the chloroplast, triggering, through several intermediate steps, the expression of defense genes in the cell nucleus.

Windows 11 26H2: How To Turn Off Bing Search And Speed Up App Launching
The Windows 11 26H2 update is now rolling out as an optional package through Windows Update under build KB5120998 . Because Microsoft deploys features via phased rollouts, several newly added capabilities remain inactive by default. Users can manually unlock these tools , though early reports indicate occasional mouse cursor and wallpaper bugs that may require uninstalling the update if encountered. A major performance addition is the Low Latency Profile . This optimization mode accelerates application launch times by briefly spiking CPU clock frequencies . Users can verify if the feature is running by monitoring the Task Manager while opening heavy software. If processor frequencies do not boost dynamically, the profile can be enabled using third-party configuration tools like ViVeTool . KB5120998 Update is already available. Image: Windows Latest To activate the performance boost via ViVeTool : Download and extract the ViVeTool archive into a dedicated folder. Launch Command Prompt (CMD) with administrator privileges. Navigate to the tools folder path using standard console navigation commands. Execute the command: vivetool /enable /id:58989092 Restart your computer to apply the updated latency profile. The update also introduces options to disable integrated Bing web search and Copilot integration directly inside the Start Menu . Removing cloud-based queries significantly speeds up local system indexing and prevents irrelevant web links from launching in Microsoft Edge . Users can configure this under Settings > Privacy & Security > Search by toggling off options for Web Searches and Microsoft Store . Image: Windows Latest If these toggles are missing from the settings interface, they can be forced active through the elevated command line using: vivetool /enable /id:61161244,61754985,62353331,62762248 Then, finish it up followed by a complete system reboot. Additionally, this update introduces enhanced customization options for desktop environments. Users gain the ability to adjust the physical footprint and overall size of the Start Menu , alongside new layout preferences in Settings > Personalization that support repositioning the Taskbar along different display edges.

New method swaps single atom in a molecule to speed drug discovery
Swapping out one letter in a word can entirely change its meaning. Similarly, swapping one atom in a molecule can completely change its identity. A group of chemists at the University of Chicago has demonstrated a new way to make a single-atom edit to a molecule without changing any of its other components. The innovative method can be used to make a family of molecules known as pyrroles, including many widely used medicines, and is significantly simpler, faster and more cost-effective than previous processes.

Apple Says Former Engineer Used Stolen Trade Secrets at OpenAI, Taught AI Agent to Run Them
Apple today submitted new evidence in its lawsuit against OpenAI, with the hope that the new information will persuade the judge to grant an expedited discovery process. Apple filed a theft of trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI employees Chang Liu and Tang Tan in July, accusing them of using multiple methods to steal data from Apple. Liu kept an Apple-issued MacBook after he left for OpenAI, and Apple got it back after the lawsuit was filed. Apple now says forensic analysis of the laptop has uncovered more evidence of Liu's use of Apple information and his attempts to hide what he'd done. From the lawsuit: Mr. Liu not only downloaded a confidential Apple circuit schematic but also used it in his work at OpenAI; Far from his unauthorized access to Apple's third-party cloud storage being unknown to him, Mr. Liu and others at OpenAI were well-aware of that access; Mr. Liu, upon learning of Apple's internal investigation of him, sent instructions for destroying evidence to an OpenAI colleague who confirmed she would comply; and Mr. Liu used a tool in his work at OpenAI that has the same name as an internal Apple engineering application used for Apple development work. Liu downloaded the circuit schematic from Apple in March, two months after he left the company. Liu used the schematic to run a simulation using electrical engineering tool LTspice, and then messaged people telling them he ran the simulation for power conversion development work. Liu described how he trained an AI agent to run LTspice. According to the filing, he said he was [f]eeling AI all day long, and that [i]n the past hour, his AI agent learned how to run LTspice, look at result, tune compensation parameter. I try to make a behavior buck, he wrote. With voltage outer and current inner. Everything ideal. It still took me a day.. now it's two hour. Including learning fresh. Oh man! Why do they even need you then? the person Liu was talking to reportedly replied. Liu used the Apple schematic on a Mac mini that later synced to the MacBook he took from Apple, which is why Apple knows about it. Apple now wants to investigate the Mac mini and other devices Liu still has in his possession. Apple says the shocking evidence is proof that its trade secrets are in active use and evidence is being destroyed, which is why expedited discovery is needed. Apple initially asked for expedited discovery earlier this month, also requesting an injunction preventing OpenAI from using its trade secrets. OpenAI responded by asking the court to dismiss the lawsuit , claiming the accusations were meritless and that it had o interest in other companies' trade secrets.

The quote also connects with Emerson's wider philosophy of individualism, self-reliance and the tension between personal freedom and external influence.
Apple ninja edits Mac Studio specs to remove PCIe Gen 6 storage reference
Macworld During Apple surprise Mac announcements last week, the company declared in its press release that the Mac Studio features a next-generation SSD architecture built on PCIe Gen 6. However, that mention has since been removed from the Mac Studio press release and site, as spotted by MacGeneration . The PCIe Gen 6 statement has been removed from the Apple U.K., Apple Germany, and Apple Japan press releases, though strangely, the PCIe Gen 6 reference still exists in the Apple France press release . The releases still list August 25, 2026, as the day of publication and have no record of an update, but we, along with many other outlets, quoted the PCIe Gen 6 in our original stories and havent been contacted by Apple about a correction. The press release now reads, Storage performance is up to twice as fast, with a next-generation SSD architecture, delivering industry-leading read and write speeds for rapid project loading, file transfers, and loading huge LLMs. The twice as fast comparision is to the M3 Ultra Mac Studio. The Internet Archive has a copy of the U.S. Mac Studio press release, recorded on August 25 at 13:03:29, and it contains the PCIe Gen 6 reference. Other copies recorded by the Internet Archive on August 25 still have the reference, but the first record of the press release on August 26 at 02:03:13 shows that the release was revised to remove references to PCIe Gen 6. PCIe Gen 6 is the next generation of the PCIe interconnect standard, offering performance upgrades over the PCIe Gen 5 standard. Apple did not specify that the M5 Ultra Mac Studio implements PCIe Gen 5, but the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are equipped with it. So its likely that the M5 Ultra has it too, and Apple made an error in its press release. Apple was contacted for clarification and had yet to respond at the time of this posting.

Why atmospheric nanoparticles grow at similar rates everywhere
Aerosols have a profound influence on air quality, human health, clouds and climate, but new particle formation in the atmosphere has remained a scientific conundrum. Large fractions of airborne fine particulate matter consist of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) formed by gas-to-particle conversion of organic precursor molecules in the atmosphere. The growth rates of these atmospheric nanoparticles, however, have remained enigmatic: They are often smaller and less dependent on condensable vapor concentration than expected.
