During experiments on board a spacecraft, researchers observed unusual behavior of crystalline structures under microgravity. Compared to Earth conditions, the samples showed a slower but structurally more perfect formation of the crystal lattice. These observations help to better understand the effect of gravity on crystallization processes and possible applications in materials science.

A major event in particle physics has occurred thanks to the introduction of an innovative detector platform that significantly increases sensitivity to dark matter signals. The new technology uses ultra-thin layers of materials and a complex electromotive circuit to minimize background noise. This allows placing constraints on the properties of hypothetical dark matter particles with new, higher accuracy.

New data from Jupiter’s satellite research vehicles indicate potential traces of water in the upper layers of one of its moons. Analysts note that the signals recorded in the spectrum correspond to the presence of water molecules and possibly icy dust in the moon’s atmosphere. These results strengthen the hypothesis of possible hydrological activity at the subsurface level.

Modern biotechnology has taken another step forward with the development of a new tool for genome editing in yeast, which allows for faster changes and fewer side effects. The new technique uses a combined approach of precise nucleotide replacement and targeted controlled disabling of DNA sections, which increases the precision of editing.

A breakthrough analysis of data from a modern telescope has been published in the field of astronomy, revealing unusual minerals on the surface of exoplanets. According to the first conclusions, the composition of the rock resembles a combination of rich metals and rare minerals that have not previously been recorded in similar conditions. This discovery may lead scientists to a more accurate understanding of the geological evolution of planets outside our solar system.
