Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) is a commercially important cut flower with a short postharvest life. This study investigated whether methane-rich water (MRW) could extend its vase life and explored the underlying mechanisms. Cut lisianthus flowers...

A model of the vacuum as a face-centered-cubic lattice predicts a two-step quantum–classical threshold, at $13.1$ and $22.6\mathsf{\mu }$g, from the hypothesis (P3) that a center-of-mass excitation stays coherently representable only while its reduced Compt...
