Two eclipses, the Perseid meteor shower, and dazzling Venus make August a spectacular month for looking up. A total solar eclipse, the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, brilliant Venus after sunset, and a deep partial lunar eclipse make August an eventful month for skywatchers. Skywatching Highlights August 5: Last Quarter Moon August 12: Total […]
Alzheimer’s May Scramble the Genome’s 3D Architecture Inside Brain Cells
Alzheimer’s may scramble the genome’s 3D structure inside brain cells, disrupting the genetic controls that keep the brain functioning. The human genome is not simply packed into brain cells like thread in a box. It folds into an intricate three-dimensional structure that helps determine which genes are active, and new research suggests this organization becomes […]

Researchers Find a Way To Make Pancreatic Cancer Visible to the Immune System
A combination treatment exposed hidden pancreatic cancer cells to the immune system, reduced their spread, and helped mice live longer. Researchers at the University of Minnesota Medical School have uncovered one reason pancreatic cancer is so difficult for the immune system to recognize and attack. The discovery points to a potential way to make immunotherapy […]
Scientists Expose Hidden Quantum Identity of a Superconductor
Two strongly coupled superconducting states can disguise themselves as a single energy gap in ultrathin materials. Two ultrathin superconductors appeared to have a simple internal structure, but closer measurements revealed something more complex. Instead of relying on one superconducting state, each material contains two strongly coupled states whose combined behavior makes them look like a […]
