Rice feeds billions. It thrives in warm, wet fields and stores energy in a way that fits busy lives and tight budgets. Those same flooded fields can also make arsenic more available to rice plants, and some of that arsenic can end up in the grain. A growing body of field evidence points to a new twist: as the planet …

Understanding the wakes and vortices that jellyfish produce as they swim is crucial, according to Wu, et al. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a vital tool for studying flow phenomena and biomechanical propulsion. PIV essentially tracks tiny tracer particles suspended in water by illuminating them with laser light. The technique usually relies on hollow glass spheres, polystyrene beads, aluminum flakes, …

Through the end of the 2024 season, the offense found a groove and growth trajectory, staying in games, pushing some to overtime, and winning them there.

Neural organoids were differentiated from iPSC-derived Neural Progenitor Cells (NPC) for up to 14 weeks and characterized throughout development (Fig. 1a). Gene expression of synaptic plasticity markers was quantified from week 0 to week 12. Calcium signaling development was analyzed from week 2 to week 14. Finally, electrical activity was characterized by High-Density Microelectrode Arrays (HD-MEAs) over two independent time periods, from …

Molecules capable of forming the precursors to sugars and amino acids have been detected, for the first time, in the disk of dust and gas whirling around a newborn star. The detection is tentative, but it offers a window into how complex life gets its start from the chemistry in space, not just before planets are born, but even before …
