A novel microscopic imaging technique, developed by Brown University engineers to capture 3D images using quantum entanglement, may finally solve the problem of phase wrapping.
Undergraduate students Moe (Yameng) Zhang and Wenyu Liu presented their work at the recent Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics. They worked on an independent project under the supervision of senior research associate Petr Moroshkin and Professor Jimmy Xu.

Vast, quasi-circular features on Venus’s surface may reveal that the planet has ongoing tectonics, according to new research based on data gathered more than 30 years ago by NASA’s Magellan mission.
On Earth, the planet’s surface is continually renewed by the constant shifting and recycling of massive sections of crust, called tectonic plates, that float atop a viscous interior. Venus doesn’t have tectonic plates, but its surface is still being deformed by molten material from below.
Seeking to better understand the underlying processes driving these deformations, the researchers studied a type of feature called a corona.
Artificial intelligence isn’t always a reliable source of information: large language models (LLMs) like Llama and ChatGPT can be prone to “hallucinating” and inventing bogus facts. But what if AI could be used to detect mistaken or distorted claims, and help people find their way more confidently through a sea of potential distortions online and elsewhere?
As presented at a workshop at the annual conference of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology present an AI architecture designed to do just that, using open-source LLMs and free versions of commercial LLMs to identify potential misleading narratives in news reports on scientific discoveries.
“Inaccurate information is a big deal, especially when it comes to scientific content—we hear all the time from doctors who worry about their patients reading things online that aren’t accurate, for instance,” said K.P. Subbalakshmi, the paper’s co-author and a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Stevens.
In two new studies led by bacteriologist Brandon L. Jutras, Northwestern scientists have identified an antibiotic that cures Lyme disease at a fraction of the dosage of the current “gold standard” treatment and discovered what may cause a treated infection to mimic chronic illness in patients. The studies were published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
New studies offer insight into disease’s treatment, lingering symptoms.

The thymus is widely recognized as an immunological niche where autoimmunity against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) develops in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients, who mostly present thymic hyperplasia and thymoma. Thymoma-associated MG is frequently characterized by autoantibodies to the muscular ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1) and titin (TTN), along with anti-AChR antibodies. By real-time PCR, we analyzed muscle—CHRNA1, RYR1, and TTN—and muscle-like—NEFM, RYR3 and HSP60—autoantigen gene expression in MG thymuses with hyperplasia and thymoma, normal thymuses and non-MG thymomas, to check for molecular changes potentially leading to an altered antigen presentation and autoreactivity.
The history books say Europeans brought leprosy to the Americas, but analysis of ancient DNA reveals that a form of the disease was present in Argentina and Canada much earlier
Located in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), these filaments could be a part of a cyclical process in one of the galaxy’s most mysterious regions.
