A new #SciencePerspective# highlights the strengths and challenges of “self-driving” laboratories, spaces that combine robotics, high-throughput experiments, AI, and automated analysis to transform scientific discovery. Read more:

In a new Science study, researchers report that touch and pain, two modalities that activate distinct, intermixed neuronal populations within the same brain region, route blood through different blood vessel networks. 📄: #SciencePerspective#:

An artificial neural network built into a computer memory chip reconstructs the human cortex with high accuracy in real time. Learn more in a new #SciencePerspective#:

In a new Science study, researchers show that chromatin exists as a hydrogel that undergoes a volume phase transition between condensed and uncondensed states that correspond to regions of gene activity and silence, respectively. Learn more in a new #SciencePerspective#:

A series of high-energy particle collision experiments tests a decades-old hypothesis about the proton’s baryon number—a conserved quantum property that distinguishes matter from antimatter. The findings in Science offer support for the idea that baryons are likely carried by a Y-shaped gluonic structure known as a baryon junction, and offer insights into the origin of the proton’s identity and how matter is organized throughout the Universe. 📄: #SciencePerspective#:
