Floods may have been far more important on ancient Mars than we thought. The Red Planet is criss-crossed by valley networks that once held flowing rivers and the deepest of them seem to have formed quickly from cataclysmic flooding.

Up until about 3.5 billion years ago, many of the craters that pock the Martian surface were full of water. Timothy Goudge at the University of Texas at Austin and his colleagues mapped out how often those …

scJoint integrates atlas-scale single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data with transfer learning

AbstractSingle-cell multiomics data continues to grow at an unprecedented pace. Although several methods have demonstrated promising results in integrating several data modalities from the same tissue, the complexity and scale of data compositions present in cell atlases still pose a challenge. Here, we present scJoint, a transfer learning method to integrate atlas-scale, heterogeneous collections of…

Webb Space Telescope Passes Critical Deployment Milestone: Sunshield Takes Shape

Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center Conceptual Image Lab With the successful extension of Webb’s second sunshield mid-boom, the observatory has passed another critical deployment milestone. Webb’s sunshield now resembles its full, kite-shaped form in space. Engineers began to deploy the second (starboard) mid-boom at 6:31 p.m. EST and completed the process at about 10:13…

Antarctic summer thaw starts earlier, ends later than previously believed

New research by Colgate University scientists changes the understanding of seasonal thawing in parts of Antarctica. Summer thawing occurs nearly a month earlier and stays thawed for a full two months longer, researchers have found. The U.S. National Science Foundation-supported study is published in Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research. "These results indicate that hydroclimatic processes in
