Small objects can show that gravity is real. The Cavendish experiment proved that even tiny masses pull on each other, showing gravity works everywhere, not just between planets.

Electric fields generated by neural activity aren't just a side effect. They actively expand the dimensionality of population activity and improve decoding. Ephaptic coupling improves the neural population code doi.org/10.64898/2026.07.28.… #neuroscience

🚨 Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a human cell ever produced. The visualization combines data from X-ray tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy to reveal the astonishing molecular complexity packed inside a single eukaryotic cell. What looks simple from the outside is actually an incredibly dense world of molecular machines, membranes, proteins and organelles all working together. One cell. An entire microscopic universe.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Susumu Tonegawa. He was the founding director of the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory and a remarkable scientific force. I am personally grateful for all that he has done for me. @MIT_Picower – at Manhattan, NY

“Instead of having fusion and a machine built in one or two generations, we'll hopefully be learning how these things work in under a decade.” ~Cofounder Zachary Hartwig PhD ’14 of Commonwealth Fusion Systems bit.ly/3E5M3gM

Had fun surprising some of the volunteers working hard to elect @AlsobrooksforMD as Maryland's next U.S. Senator. Maryland, make a plan to vote for Angela Alsobrooks – someone who will fight for you and be a champion for your state. IWillVote.com/MD
Thank you @BarackObama for coming to Maryland today to help us defend the Democratic Senate majority!
