    Ultrasonic Beam Extends Acoustic Levitation Range Sixfold
    A research team at University of Tsukuba and the University of Bristol has experimentally demonstrated, for the first time, stable three-dimensional acoustic levitation within the high-pressure core of a zero-order Bessel beam. Using a specially designed ultrasonic beam emitted from a single side, the researchers successfully levitated and translated millimeter-scale …
  • Nuclear compartmentalization at the G1/S transition plays a key role in DNA replication control

    Nuclear compartmentalization at the G1/S transition plays a key role in DNA replication control
    Upon entry into the G1 phase following mitosis, mammalian chromosomal DNA becomes spatially segregated into A and B compartments, which correspond closely to classic euchromatin and heterochromatin, respectively. The functional significance of this spatial segregation, however, has remained unexplored due to the lack of means to manipulate this level …
