Europe · WashingtonMars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) Experiment is installed in the belly of NASA's Perseverance rover. It uses a process called electrolysis to split the Martian carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and oxygen. In each of its seven runs, MOXIE produced between 5.4 and 8.9 grams of molecular oxygen.See the Story

Europe · CambridgeScientists say Saturn's moon Chrysalis may have been torn apart 160 million years ago. 99% of the Chrysalis wreckage appears to have plunged into Saturn's atmosphere. The remaining 1% stayed in orbit around the planet and eventually formed the ring system. Saturn is the second-largest planet in our solar system behind Jupiter.See the Story

US & Canada · CambridgeAstronomers detected a persistent radio signal from a far-off galaxy that appears to flash with surprising regularity. Named FRB 20191221A, this fast radio burst is currently the longest-lasting FRB, with the clearest periodic pattern, detected to date. The source of the signal lies in a distant galaxy located several billion light-years from Earth.See the Story

US & Canada · MassachusettsEngineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created a stamp-sized sticker that can provide live, high-resolution ultrasound imaging of blood vessels and internal organs. The stickers, measuring 2 by 3 centimeters, adhere directly to the skin and could enable diagnostic and monitoring tools for various diseases, including some heart conditions, pregnancy-related complications, and several types of cancers.See the Story

Alzheimer's DiseaseScientists traced and studied neurons that connect the visual cortices in each hemisphere of the brain. The found that CH cell activity was significantly lessened amid the disease. Unsurprisingly, Alzheimer's mice fared much poorer in novelty discrimination tasks. The study demonstrates the propagation of gamma rhythm synchrony across the brain hemispheres via the cross hemispheric connectivity.See the Story

EnvironmentResearchers developed a way to 'de-crowd' molecules in a cell by expanding a tissue sample, labeling the molecules, then imaging them. The method, known as expansion revealing, builds on a technique known as expansion microscopy and should allow scientists to visualize molecules and cellular structures that have never been seen before.See the Story

Parkinson's DiseaseResearchers from MIT have developed an AI system that uses radio waves to monitor breathing while a person sleeps. The study found 12 nights of consecutive tracking could reach around 95% accuracy at diagnosing Parkinson's disease. The researchers have already developed a wall-mounted device that can be used to monitor patients in their home.See the Story
