Looking for new colors? Follow the ‘olo’ brick road

"Science has uncovered a new color. No, we’re not talking about a new shade with a name like “violet indulgence” or “likeable sand” in the hardware store paint aisle; it’s a color that has never been seen with human eyes. It’s called “olo” and has been described as an intensely saturated blue-green. Researchers at UC Berkeley, leaning into the fantastical spirit of this endeavor, developed a technique named “Oz” to uncover the new hue. But no wizards or witches were needed in this endeavor - just science."

Hearing the Math of Vibrations

"Air is an elastic medium; if you disturb it by clapping or plucking the string of an instrument, pressure waves propagate out from the disturbance. When those pressure waves reach your ear, the pressure at your eardrum fluctuates as a function of time."

Designing the AI Virtual Cell:
A New Frontier for Personalized Medicine

"Wouldn’t it be great if we could personalize medicine? What if we could tailor treatment to your specific biology instead of relying on broad, one-size-fits-most approaches? It might sound a bit futuristic or too good to be true, but we might be closer to this reality than we realize."

Why are proteins so hard to work with?

"...there is a high potential impact for any technology developed that makes studying proteins as easy as nucleic acids, with many academic and industry scientists vying for the “holy grail” of protein detection."

When Spiders Fly

"Those interested in studying the atmosphere would collect samples from flights at different altitudes. To their surprise, they found more spiders than one would expect at altitudes of 10,000 feet. Wingless bugs in the collection filter. Odd. Ecologists like Charles Darwin mused for years about the way spiders took flight in an action called ballooning."
