Citizen science collaboration yields precise data on exoplanet WASP-77 A b

Citizen science collaboration yields precise data on exoplanet WASP-77 A b

A planet swings in front of its star, dimming the starlight we see. Events like these, called transits, provide us with bounties of information about exoplanets—planets around stars other than the sun. But predicting when these special events occur can be challenging…unless you have help from volunteers.

Light momentum turns pure silicon from an indirect to a direct bandgap semiconductor

Light momentum turns pure silicon from an indirect to a direct bandgap semiconductor

UC Irvine-led research reveals that the optical properties of materials can be dramatically enhanced—not by changing the materials themselves, but by giving the light new properties.

AI tools help uncover enzyme mechanisms for lasso peptides

AI tools help uncover enzyme mechanisms for lasso peptides

Lasso peptides are natural products made by bacteria. Their unusual lasso shape endows them with remarkable stability, protecting them from extreme conditions. In a new study, published in Nature Chemical Biology, researchers have constructed and tested models for how these peptides are made and demonstrated how this information might be used to advance lasso peptide-based drugs into the clinic.

New data science tool greatly speeds up molecular analysis of our environment

New data science tool greatly speeds up molecular analysis of our environment

A research team led by scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has developed a computational workflow for analyzing large data sets in the field of metabolomics, the study of small molecules found within cells, biofluids, tissues, and entire ecosystems.

Saturday Citations: Football metaphors in physics; vets treat adorable baby rhino's broken leg

Saturday Citations: Football metaphors in physics; vets treat adorable baby rhino's broken leg

This week, researchers reported an effective way to protect working dogs from heat stress: training them to dunk their heads in cool water. A new computational technique provided a breakthrough in understanding the so-called "pseudogap" in quantum physics, a development that could lead to room-temperature superconductivity. And a bunch of scientists agree: Evidence now supports global action to combat microplastics. And a few other things happened, too. Among them:

Many people in the Pacific lack access to adequate toilets—and climate change makes things worse

Many people in the Pacific lack access to adequate toilets—and climate change makes things worse

The Pacific Islands may evoke images of sprawling coastlines and picturesque scenery. But while this part of the world might look like paradise, many local residents are grappling with a serious public health issue.

New tool to help decision makers navigate possible futures of the Colorado River

New tool to help decision makers navigate possible futures of the Colorado River

The Colorado River is a vital source of water in the Western United States, providing drinking water for homes and irrigation for farms in seven states, but the basin is under increasing pressure from climate change and drought. A new computational tool developed by a research team, led by Penn State scientists, may help the region adapt to a complex and uncertain future.

New biosensor illuminates physiological signals in living animals

New biosensor illuminates physiological signals in living animals

Eric Schreiter and Luke Lavis thought they had figured it out. In 2021, the Janelia group leaders reported that they had developed a way to combine Schreiter's engineered protein biosensors and Lavis's bright, fluorescent Janelia Fluor dyes.

New method developed to relocate misplaced proteins in cells

New method developed to relocate misplaced proteins in cells

Cells are highly controlled spaces that rely on every protein being in the right place. Many diseases, including cancers and neurodegenerative disorders, are associated with misplaced proteins. In some cancers, for instance, a protein that normally stands watch over DNA replicating in the nucleus is sent far from the DNA it is meant to monitor, allowing cancers to grow.

Even the heaviest particles experience the usual quantum weirdness, new experiment shows

Even the heaviest particles experience the usual quantum weirdness, new experiment shows

One of the most surprising predictions of physics is entanglement, a phenomenon where objects can be some distance apart but still linked together. The best-known examples of entanglement involve tiny chunks of light (photons), and low energies.
