Electron microscopy has enabled visualization of the intricate details inside cells. The advancement to 3D electron microscopy, known as volume EM (vEM), has further expanded this three-dimensional, nanoscale imaging capacity. However, trade-offs between imaging speed, quality, and sample size still limit the achievable imaging area and volume. Electron microscopy has enabled visualization of the intricate details…
Archaeologists have analyzed the DNA of a unique child burial at the precontact Mexican site of Paquimé, suggesting it is a rare example of close relative mating between elites for ritual sacrifice.

Bisphenols are widely used as the main raw material for plastics such as receipts, water bottles, water containers, and vinyl due to their heat-resistant and mechanochemical properties. Among bisphenols, bisphenol A (BPA), which we often refer to as an “endocrine-disrupting chemical,” has been linked to adverse effects on reproduction, development, intelligence, and various metabolic diseases. Bisphenols…
Fingerprints are one of the best-recognized examples of pattern formation by epithelial cells. The primary cells in the epithelium are the keratinocytes, and they are known to form patterns at the microscopic and macroscopic levels. While factors affecting this pattern formation have been reported, the exact mechanisms underlying the process are still not fully understood. Fingerprints…
Last year marked Earth’s warmest year on record. A new study finds that some of 2023’s record warmth, nearly 20%, likely came as a result of reduced sulfur emissions from the shipping industry. Much of this warming is concentrated over the northern hemisphere. Last year marked Earth’s warmest year on record. A new study finds that…

Quantum materials—those with electronic properties that are governed by the principles of quantum mechanics, such as correlation and entanglement—can exhibit exotic behaviors under certain conditions, such as the ability to transmit electricity without resistance, known as superconductivity. However, in order to get the best performance out of these materials, they need to be properly tuned,…
