A new advance overcomes present limitations in spatial transcriptomics with a DNA nanotechnology-driven method called ‘Light-Seq.’ Light-Seq allows researchers to ‘geotag’ the full repertoire of RNA sequences with unique DNA… Read More »Turning the spotlight on cells in tissues so RNA can tell their story
Hunter-gatherers living in southwest Asia may have started keeping and caring for animals nearly 13,000 years ago, new data show. That’s roughly 2,000 years earlier than previously thought. Ancient plant… Read More »What does charred ancient poop reveal about early animal-raising?
Researchers find the behavior of complex ecosystems can be predicted based on just two pieces of information: the number of species in the community and how strongly they interact with… Read More »What drives ecosystems to instability?
Autonomous optimal navigation of microswimmers is in fact possible, as researchers have recently shown. In contrast to the targeted navigation of boats, the motion of swimmers at the microscale is… Read More »Novel navigation strategies for microscopic swimmers
Despite being considered well established, the physics of optical waves have some fundamental aspects, which are still under debate. One of these effects, the anomalous behavior of focused light fields,… Read More »Optical foundations illuminated by quantum light
