Using an egg "soup" to understand how DNA is packed in the nucleus
If you stretched the DNA found in one of your cells from end to end, it would extend approximately 2 meters or 6.5 feet. Every single cell in your body can pack away this much DNA by winding it around proteins called histones. The DNA is opened and c.....»»

Using mathematics to better understand cause and effect
Cause and effect. We understand this concept from an early age. Tug on a pull toy's string, and the toy follows. Naturally, things get much more complicated as a system grows, as the number of variables increases, and as noise enters the picture. Eve.....»»

Astronomers predict the orbits of potentially hazardous comets from meteor showers
Comets have long been seen as omens and portents, and it's easy to understand why. They first appear as faint smudges of light in the sky, sometimes fading soon after and sometimes becoming brighter than the planets, with a long, glowing tail. They h.....»»
Charcoal stored in preserved guano gives helps reconstruct regional fire histories
With wildfires growing more frequent and more intense in many parts of the world, scientists are looking to the past to better understand where and when fires have burned. Lakes and wetlands, which capture airborne charcoal particles when they fall f.....»»
New York, L.A. spar online over baseball, transit, and AI
Fans of the Dodgers and Yankees are getting in a war of words over whether crowded trains or backed-up traffic is worse. The New York-Los Angeles rivalry may have existed before the Brooklyn Dodgers packed up and moved west in 1958, but that se.....»»
Simple science summaries written by AI can help people understand research and trust scientists
Artificial intelligence-generated summaries of scientific papers make complex information more understandable for the public compared with human-written summaries, according to my recent paper published in PNAS Nexus. AI-generated summaries not only.....»»
Framework helps autonomous drones rendezvous with sperm whales for better tracking
Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative) aims to collect millions to billions of high-quality, highly contextualized vocalizations in order to understand how sperm whales communicate. But finding the whales and knowing where they will surface t.....»»
A novel state of thorium opens the possibility for a nuclear clock
Why are there atomic clocks but no nuclear clocks? After all, an atom's nucleus is typically surrounded by many electrons, so in principle it should be less susceptible to outside noise (in the form of light). A nucleus, for high-atomic number atoms,.....»»
Quantum simulator could help uncover materials for high-performance electronics
Quantum computers hold the promise to emulate complex materials, helping researchers better understand the physical properties that arise from interacting atoms and electrons. This may one day lead to the discovery or design of better semiconductors,.....»»
Study introduces novel conservation law that operates down to the subcycle level during strong-field ionization
The conservation law is a fundamental tool that significantly aids our quest to understand the world, playing a crucial role across various scientific disciplines. Particularly in strong-field physics, these laws enhance our comprehension of atomic a.....»»

Botanists have come to understand the channels and transporters involved in the uptake and transport of nutrients, yet how are they positioned where they need to be?.....»»
Chromium-62 study helps researchers better understand shapes around islands of inversion
In a recent paper in Nature Physics, an international research collaboration used world-class instrumentation at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) to study the exotic nuclide, or rare isotope, chromium-62......»»
How can you write data to DNA without changing the base sequence?
A new method lets anyone with a kit write data to DNA with just one enzyme. Zettabytes—that’s 1021 bytes—of data are currently generated every year. All of those cat videos.....»»
