In the vast canvas of the cosmos, a nebula unfurls its fiery wings, a phoenix rising from stellar ashes.

In nature today: 40Hz light and sound stimulation increases peptide release from interneurons, driving clearance of #Alzheimers protein via the brain’s glymphatic system. Study led by Li-Huei Tsai, Mitch Murdock. picower.mit.edu/news/how-senso… @mitscience MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences

Geometrical speculations have just as much Elegancy as Simplicity, and deserve just so much praise as they can promise use.

-- Sir Isaac Newton

Exciting paper, out today, adapts large language models to biological sequences: - DNA🧬, RNA 🧫, proteins 💊- for generative design. As a small set of papers to help you get deeply into this, you can first read a review [1] of Large Language Models to analyze Genome Sequence…

An elegant example of the conservation of angular momentum, the rotational equivalent of linear momentum, is when a figure skater does a pirouette. Their rotational speed increases as their moment of inertia decreases by drawing in their arms and legs.

How do we capture local features across multiple resolutions? While standard convolutional layers work only on a fixed input-resolution, we design local neural operators that learn integral and differential kernels, and are principled ways to extend standard convolutions to…

Interesting book!

Aided by machine learning, researchers developed a method to remotely map crop types in low- or middle-income countries where agricultural data are sparse. The work fills “a gap in knowledge about what is grown around the world,” Sherrie Wang says. mitsha.re/sl8150QCSKf

Stripes in a flowing liquid crystal suggest a route to “chiral” fluids: Study finds chiral structures, with mirror-image configurations, can emerge from nonchiral systems, suggesting new ways to engineer these materials. mitsha.re/Laxc50QpbIv

Here we see an antimatter trap. It traps the antiprotons produced by the Antiproton Decelerator (AD), which are necessary for studies of antimatter. #AtCERN , we have several experiments that study antimatter including AEgIS, ALPHA, ASACUSA, BASE, and GBAR.

This antimatter trap…

Views of southern Sweden and the islands Öland and Gotland visible, and yes, a tiny hint of Denmark 😉 there on the left... seen from space by Marcus Wandt #Muninn

While it's widely believed that Sir Isaac Newton formulated his theory of gravity after an apple fell on his head, this story is likely more myth than fact. It's thought that the apple story was a humorous anecdote he shared to simplify the concept, rather than a literal account…

In the 2024 Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes Calendar, the month of February features several images of ‘jellyfish’ galaxies 🪼 🌌 named for their trailing tentacles.

If Andromeda were brighter, this is what you’d see in the sky.

Unity creates strength 💪 — and in the case of the four 8.2m Unit Telescopes (UTs) & four 1.8m Auxiliary Telescopes (ATs), which make up ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), also the ability to see the cosmos in incredible detail. 1/ ⭐️ 🔍

📷 This NASA/ESA HUBBLE image shows a densely packed field of stars, on a background of dust, gas and light from more distant objects. The stars take up so much of the view that it's hard to realise that you're actually looking at a galaxy (called ESO 245-5)!

The color of a meteor depends on its chemical composition.

Our #HubbleTopImage features the famous Orion Nebula 🏹✨. This image is a mosaic, constructed from many observations as astronomers searched for rogue planets & runaway stars.
