UCLA researchers develop new method to customize artificial tiny organs inside cells

University of California - Los Angeles
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A team of UCLA researchers has developed a new method to build programmable artificial organelles inside living cells using RNA as both the material and the blueprint. The approach enables researchers to design droplet-like cellular compartments that assemble in predictable ways and can be controlled in how and where they form, as well as what molecules they recruit.

Drone radar reveals buried glaciers on Earth, guiding the search for water on Mars

University of Arizona
Peer-Reviewed Publication

University of Arizona researchers launched drones equipped with ground-penetrating radar over debris-covered glaciers in Alaska and Wyoming that resemble buried ice deposits found on Mars. The team successfully mapped the thickness of rocky debris covering the ice, showing that drone-based radar could one day help scientists locate and access subsurface ice on Mars.
