Scientists have uncovered sweeping changes in how the human brain controls and organizes its genome beginning in midlife, offering new clues to why aging sharply increases the risk of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. One of the biggest shifts occurred between about ages 50 and 75, when many of the brain’s original immune cells declined and were replaced by cells with more inflammatory characteristics. Researchers also found weakening of cells that help maintain the blood-brain barrier, along with widespread deterioration in the genome’s three-dimensional organization.

Author(s): Florian Tropper and Takahito OhmuraThe authors have successfully induced and characterized a channel-like deformation mechanism in pure tungsten, providing a new experimental pathway to evaluate irradiation damage in future nuclear fusion reactors. While this phenomenon, where atomic layers slide rigidly like a solid cylinder being forced through a tight tube, is known to occur as a destructive byproduct of intense radiation inside fusion environments, it has previously been highly difficult to isolate and study in a controlled manner. In this work, they overcame this challenge by precisely pressing a microscopic tip into a specifically oriented tungsten single-crystal. Using advanced electron microscopy techniques, they studied the resulting atomic displacements and determined the channel-like deformation for the first time in this crystal

Choosing an orbit for a satellite always comes with trade-offs. Very low Earth orbit (VLEO), between 100–450 km (62–280 miles), has distinct advantages. Remote-sensing cameras can take better pictures, communications and radar require less power, and atmospheric drag automatically cleans up dead satellites.

A team of researchers from University of Toronto Engineering has created a new type of dye-sensitized nanoparticle that can detect target chemicals at very low concentrations while also distinguishing between molecules with very similar shapes.

Have you ever wondered what Earth observation satellites see when they look down at the deep ocean or a dense tropical forest during the dead of night? The answer, for the most part, is nothing. Standard optical sensors require a steady stream of light to function, and in these photon-limited regions, they hit a hard physical boundary. But what if we could rewrite the rules of optical imaging? By borrowing techniques from quantum photonics, we can push beyond these classical limits and unlock a fundamentally new way to observe the darkest and most hidden environments on our planet.
