The quark Sivers function describes much of the physics of how quarks are distributed in a proton whose rotation is perpendicular to its direction of motion. This function shows whether more quarks in the proton move to the right than to the left of the plane created by the proton’s velocity and the direction of the proton’s rotation (spin) axis.

X-ray bursts occur on the surface of a neutron star as it absorbs material from a companion star. This absorption initiates a cascade of thermonuclear reactions that create atoms of heavy chemical elements on the surface of a neutron star. Researchers have directly measured one of these reactions, finding it to be four times higher than the previous direct measurement.
Tantalum superconducting material shows great promise for making qubits. When an oxide layer forms on the surface of tantalum, it can lead to quantum decoherence. In this study, researchers used scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and computer modeling to investigate the structure of superconducting tantalum film. This helped them build an atomic-level understanding of the crystalline lattice of tantalum metal and the oxide that forms on its surface.
The Wistar Institute assistant professor Dr. Filippo Veglia has discovered a key mechanism of how glioblastoma — a serious and often fatal brain cancer — suppresses the immune system so that the tumor can grow unimpeded by the body’s defenses.

New research shows how tiny plant-like organisms hitch a ride on ocean currents to reach darker and deeper depths, where they impact carbon cycling and microbial dynamics in the subtropical oceans.
Working with human breast and lung cells, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have charted a molecular pathway that can lure cells down a hazardous path of duplicating their genome too many times, a hallmark of cancer cells.
• Two complementary research articles, published simultaneously in the journals Science and Cell Stem Cell by a team of scientists from the UPF and IRB Barcelona, reveal that central and peripheral circadian clocks coordinate to regulate the daily activity of skin and muscles. • The coordination between the two clocks (central and peripheral) guarantees 50% of the circadian functions of tissues, including vital processes such as the cell cycle, DNA repair, mitochondrial activity, and metabolism. • Synchronisation between the central brain clock and peripheral ones prevents premature muscle ageing and improves muscle function, suggesting new strategies to tackle age-related decline through circadian rhythm modulation.
