Enzyme discovery opens a new route to natural UV-absorbing saclipins

Ultraviolet (UV)-absorbing compounds from natural sources are attracting interest as potential ingredients for cosmetics and other protective materials. Saclipins A and B are unusual UV-absorbing oxylipins produced by the edible freshwater cyanobacterium Aphanothece sacrum, known in Japan as Suizenji-nori. Although these compounds show promising UV-absorbing and other functional properties, their low natural abundance and poorly understood biosynthesis have limited efforts to use them more broadly.

Magnetic skyrmions (MSks) are swirling patterns of magnetization that form inside certain magnetic materials. They can behave like actual particles in many ways, exhibiting a stable internal structure and distinct boundaries. Because they are extremely small and can be pushed around with relatively little energy, MSks are regarded as promising information carriers in emerging technologies, including low-power memories and logic circuits. However, a major goal in the field has been to find practical ways to control their motion with high precision.

Duane 'Keffe D' Davis gets 40 years to life for orchestrating Tupac Shakurs killing

By Jack Queen and Steve Gorman LAS VEGAS, Oct 13 (Reuters) - A former gang leader was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on Tuesday for orchestrating the 1996 drive-by shooting death of hip-hop star Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas, capping the prosecution of a long-unsolved murder that shaped the golden age of rap music. Duane Keffe D Davis, 63, found guilty of first-degree murder in August, received the sentence during a hearing in a Las Vegas courtroom. In tearful testimony before Judge Carli Kierny, Shakur's younger sister Sekyiwa Shakur said their mother had raised him to be a human rights activist and treated him as if he had the potential to change the world. He believed her, saidSekyiwa Shakur, wearing a black shirt. He went out in the world to do that. And I believe he would have done it. Until Davis' 2023 arrest, the killing of Shakur, shot dead in the passenger seat of an SUV driven by his record executive, Marion Suge Knight, had stood for nearly three decades as one of America's most notorious cold cases. The murder, which silenced one of rap's most commercially successful and influential artists, heightened the image of violence permeating 1990s hip-hop culture while stoking the infamous East Coast-West Coast gangsta rap feud of the era. Despite Davis' conviction, the question of who pulled the trigger in the fatal shooting of the 25-year-old rap legend has never been conclusively decided. Davis was tried and convicted for masterminding the murder to avenge the beating of his nephew by Shakur and members of the rapper's entourage inside the MGM Grand casino on the Las Vegas Strip on September 7, 1996. Davishas said he would appeal his conviction. 'THE WORLD NEVER FORGOT' Authorities said they long believed Davis was involved in Shakur's killing but lacked sufficient evidence to charge him. That changed when he went public with his story in media appearances and a memoir that, along with tapes of his secret meetings with investigators, formed the bulk of the prosecutions murder case. In his book, Compton Street Legend, Davis himself wrote that he was considered a suspect in the murders of both Shakur and Christopher Wallace, a rival rapper. Addressing Davis on Tuesday, Kierny said his assertions that he had changed since the 1990s fell short. You don't get to take a man from his family, Kierny said, referring to Shakur. The world never forgot about him. FATAL SHOOTING SPARKED BY CASINO BRAWL The clash at the casino stemmed from hostility between two Los Angeles-area street gangs the South Side Compton Crips, of which Davis was the self-described leader, and Mob Piru, which was associated with Shakur, Knight, and their music label, Death Row Records. Members of both groups were in Las Vegas to see a world heavyweight title boxing match that night between Mike Tyson and Bruce Seldon. Within hours of the casino brawl, Davis ushered his nephew and two other associates into a white Cadillac and went looking for Shakur and Knight, determined to settle scores, according to an account Davis later gave police in an unrelated investigation and that prosecutors cited during his murder trial. Davis said he passed a gun to the two men seated behind him in the Cadillac, one of whom opened fire through the window when they caught up with, and pulled alongside of, Knight and Shakurs vehicle in traffic. Shakur was struck four times and died in a hospital six days later. Knight, who suffered a minor injury from a bullet fragment that grazed his head, is now serving a 28-year prison term on an unrelated voluntary manslaughter conviction. While Davis was never accused of actually firing the shots that killed Shakur - Nevada law allows someone to be charged with murder as a participant in the crime - prosecutors have never named a suspected gunman. All three other men in the Cadillac with Davis that night have since died.

China's Ships In Indian Backyard: What Bangladeshs $335-Mn Mongla Port Deal Means For Delhi

Bangladesh has signed a $335 million loan agreement with China to expand and modernise Mongla Port, located roughly 80 kilometres from Indias border. The project will fund two container terminals, cargo yards and modern port machinery. On paper, this is an infrastructure deal. But the timing and location make it strategically important for New Delhi. The port is close to Indias eastern frontier and has been used by Indian cargo since 2018. The deal also comes after Bangladesh cancelled an India-backed economic-zone project on adjoining land and handed the site to a Chinese company. There is no Chinese military base at Mongla. China has not been given the right to operate the port. But strategic influence does not always arrive in uniform. It comes through loans, contracts, supply chains and long-term dependency. With Chinese defence and infrastructure ties deepening across Bangladesh, India faces a clear warning on its eastern flank. Shreya Chandra has more
