The article explores recent advancements in material science, quantum technology, and biosynthesis. Topics discussed include stress-assisted growth of metal nanowires using ion beam implantation, the use of lanthanide complexes for enhanced quantum sensing, and the discovery of massive polyketide synthase enzymes in marine microbes.

The article presents information related to viruses. Viruses are responsible for important genetic events, from the evolution of photosynthesis to the emergence of pathogens. They play an important role in regulating the microbially dominated cycling of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in the world's oceans. Bacteriophages have been responsible in the development of modern molecular biological techniques. Researchers have explored how the flexibility of capsid structure can be exploited for diverse uses, including drug delivery and as precise templates for nanostructure assemblies. There are many difficulties in the biotechnological application of artificial viruses. Initial viral infection can trigger a cell into an autophagic response. It has been observed that viruses are adept at eluding host responses, but interferons can trigger a flexible network of backup responses. A new study examines a theory that viruses coexisted with the earliest organisms and perhaps helped create DNA. A research describes how gamma herpesviruses mimic and manipulate Notch and Wnt signaling.
