Over the last two decades, microscopy has seen unprecedented advances in speed and resolution. However, cellular structures are essentially three-dimensional, and conventional super-resolution techniques often lack the necessary resolution in all three directions to capture details at a nanometer scale. A research team has now investigated a super-resolution imaging technique that involves combining the advantages of two different methods to achieve the same resolution in all three dimensions; this is 'isotropic' resolution.

The octopus is an exceptional organism with an extremely complex brain and cognitive abilities that are unique among invertebrates. So much so that in some ways it has more in common with vertebrates than with invertebrates. The neural and cognitive complexity of these animals could originate from a molecular analogy with the human brain, as discovered by a research paper recently published in BMC Biology and coordinated by Remo Sanges from SISSA of Trieste and by Graziano Fiorito from Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn of Naples.

The neural and cognitive complexity of the octopus could originate from a molecular analogy with the human brain, according to a new study. The research shows that the same 'jumping genes' are active both in the human brain and in the brain of two species, Octopus vulgaris, the common octopus, and Octopus bimaculoides, the Californian octopus.

The supermassive black hole (SMBH) at our galaxy's core, Sagittarius A*, is modest in size with only 4.15 million solar-masses. The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) recently released a dramatic submillimeter image of it as seen illuminated by its glowing environment. Many galaxies have nuclear SMBHs that are a thousand times bigger, for example the nucleus of M87, whose image was taken by the EHT in 2020. But SagA* is relatively close to us, only about twenty-five thousand light-years, and its proximity offers astronomers a unique opportunity to probe the properties of SMBHs.

However, due to the intrinsic sluggish kinetics of the OER, this leads to an overall poor catalytic performance in general.

Researchers have revealed the presence of a functional urea cycle in the star-shaped cells of the Alzheimer's Disease (AD) brain. Key results point to the role of the urea cycle in amyloid-beta plaque clearance, and the memory impairment caused by consequent excess GABA, ammonia, and H2O2 production. Astrocyte-specific silencing of enzyme ODC1 in AD mouse model rescues memory impairment and can be a potential new therapeutic target against the disease.

Author(s): S. Germanis, P. Atkinson, A. Bach, R. Hostein, R. Braive, M. Vabre, F. Margaillan, M. Bernard, V. Voliotis, and B. EbleThe ability to initialize excitonic states in the high-energy orbital levels of quantum dots provides additional degrees of freedom for all-optical spin-driving protocols. Here, the authors show that unconventional two-photon excitation can simultaneously photocreate two electron-hole pairs located on distinct orbital levels of a GaAs quantum dot. Tuning the laser energy allows the triplet and singlet spin states of the biexciton to be selectively addressed. The measured radiative cascades suggest the importance of many-body effects in these weakly confined dots. [Phys. Rev. B 105, 235430] Published Thu Jun 23, 2022

Detection of weak signals is a crucial step in the verification of physics hypotheses and making breakthroughs in cutting-edge and fundamental physics research. However, if the signals are too weak to measure, they need enhancement. One attractive way to amplify the signals is quantum amplification. The state-of-the-art quantum amplification techniques still have some limitations because they rely on the inherent discrete state transitions of atoms and molecules and therefore lack tunability, usually enhancing only one signal within a narrow range of frequencies.
