Growers will cut the pumpkin seedling from its roots, and fuse the stems of other cucurbits onto it, giving them strong, resistant roots to grow from. (btiscience.org)
Thanks to a serendipitous observation, IBS researchers at POSTECH found out that tailed pumpkin - shaped molecules, mono - allyloxylated cucurbit [7] uril (AO1CB [7]-RRB-, act as surfactant in water. (technologyalpha.net)
According to study author Kyeng Min Park, the technology was developed unexpectedly when IBS researchers at Korea's Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) saw that mono - allyloxylated cucurbit [7] uril (A01CB [7]-RRB- molecules act as surfactants in water. (in-pharmatechnologist.com)
