Innovation enhances multiomics workflow, eliminates sample preparation

A patent-pending method developed and tested for multiple applications at Purdue University eliminates sample preparation, a bottleneck that currently dominates a laboratory scientist's time and budget, and enables spatial analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Racing to build a radio telescope on the moon

Remember the "Wow!" signal? That high-energy radio signature occurred in 1977, when Earth was much "quieter" in the radio band. If it happened today, it probably wouldn't even move the needle on the background noise of human radio chatter. Signals from satellites, radar and other human technology have crowded out extraterrestrial radio signals, limiting our ability to monitor the heavens for signals like the still-unexplained one received in 1977. What's more, the ionosphere partially blocks lower-frequency radio signals, making them even harder to detect from the ground.

MIT physicists discover electrons rebuilding like ice inside a quantum material

MIT physicists found that two electronic phases inside the same quantum material emerge through surprisingly different mechanisms—one smoothly and the other in expanding pockets resembling growing ice crystals. The discovery could help explain how exotic properties such as superconductivity and magnetism develop and coexist.
