Is the gas giant about to have a close encounter of the 3I kind? Harvard scientist Avi Loeb claims that 3I/ATLAS’ bizarre trajectory suggests that it’s sending “satellites” to Jupiter to gather intel ...

Simulations reveal that Jupiter’s rapid growth disrupted the early solar system, creating rings where new planetesimals formed much later than expected. These late-forming bodies match the ages and ...

Jupiter is not quite as large as astronomers thought, according to the first measurements of its radius taken in more than 40 years. Jupiter is a gas giant and doesn’t have a solid outer surface like ...

This manuscript describes an AI-automated microscopy-based approach to characterize both bacterial and host cell responses associated with Shigella infection of epithelial cells. The methodology is ...
