Phys.org / Jupiter's hidden depths: Simulation suggests planet holds 1.5 times more oxygen than the sun
Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on the gas giant—so thick that no spacecraft has been able to measure exactly what lies beneath.
Phys.org / Two-step genome editing enables creation of full-length humanized mouse models
Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species. Although mice share most protein-coding genes with humans, their regulatory landscapes often diverge, ...
Phys.org / Scientists transform enigmatic cell structures into devices for recording RNA activity
Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and the molecular events within them are dynamic, and developmental processes, disease progression and ...
Phys.org / Detecting single-electron qubits: Microwaves could probe quantum states above liquid helium
One intriguing method that could be used to form the qubits needed for quantum computers involves electrons hovering above liquid helium. But it wasn't clear how data in this form could be read easily.
Phys.org / Tightening the focus of subcellular snapshots: Combined approach yields better cell slices for cryoET imaging
Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons that emerge allow researchers ...
Medical Xpress / 3D hybrid imaging system could address limitations of MRI, CT and ultrasound
In a proof-of-concept study, researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have shown that an innovative, noninvasive technique can be used to quickly collect 3D ...
Phys.org / AI tools speed development of antibody probes to see activity inside living cells
Researchers at Colorado State University have determined how to use artificial intelligence to modify antibodies so they act as lightbulbs, enabling scientists to better see inside living cells to track errors in gene expression ...
Medical Xpress / What a study of 67,000 people reveals about sexual desire and age
Sexual desire is a fundamental part of being human and a driving force in many relationships, yet we still don't fully understand why it varies so much from person to person.
Phys.org / A new 'crystalline sponge' for drug discovery: APF-80 illuminates materials design
Many natural compounds that act on the human body provide active ingredients for medicines or clues for developing them, and they play a crucial role in pharmaceutical research.
Phys.org / Decoded rules of microRNA strand selection reveal conserved, programmable features
MicroRNAs, whose discovery was recognized with the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, are central regulators of gene expression, yet a fundamental question has remained unanswered: how cells choose between the two ...
Phys.org / Health care electronics are booming—here's how to make them more sustainable
Wearable health care devices—such as glucose monitors, ultrasound patches and blood-pressure monitors—can be invaluable for keeping patients safe.
Phys.org / Sniffing out cancer: Trained dogs can detect hemangiosarcoma by scent
Cancer is a leading cause of death in both humans and pets; studies suggest that between one-third and one-half of all dogs will develop cancer during their lifetime.
