Imaging tech promises deepest looks yet into living brain tissue at single-cell resolution
Both for research and medical purposes, researchers have spent decades pushing the limits of microscopy to produce ever deeper and sharper images of brain activity, not only in the cortex but also in regions underneath such as the hippocampus. In a new study, a team of MIT scientists and engineers demonstrates a new microscope system capable of peering exceptionally deep into brain tissues to detect the molecular activity of individual cells by using sound.

Detecting alien living worlds and photosynthetic life using imaging polarimetry with the HWO coronagraph
Our Earth, being the only living planet that we know, provides us with clues that photosynthetic life-forms may be dominant on other exoplanets for billions of years. Spectropolarimetric signatures of the terrestrial photosynthetic life (PSLife) are well studied in the lab and remotely sensed with space and airborne instrumentation. An astonishing biosignature revealed by these measurements is an extremely strong linear polarization (tens \%) associated with broad absorption bands of biological…

By changing our diets now, we can avoid the food chaos that climate change is bringing
Climate change is pushing up the prices of the food that we buy and therefore changing what we eat. One-third of UK food price increases in 2023 resulted from climate change, according to research by agricultural economists. This extra cost contributed to food price inflation and the UK's cost-of-living crisis.

Optimal Consumption-Investment for General Utility with a Drawdown Constraint over a Finite-Time Horizon
We study an optimal investment and consumption problem over a finite-time horizon, in which an individual invests in a risk-free asset and a risky asset, and evaluate utility using a general utility function that exhibits loss aversion with respect to the historical maximum of consumption. Motivated by behavioral finance and habit formation theory, we model the agent's preference for maintaining a standard of living by imposing constraints on declines from the peak consumption level. To solve t…

For living beings, survival depends on effective regulation of internal physiological states through motivated behaviors.

We show that HRRL inherently produces multiple behaviors such as risk aversion, anticipatory regulation,…

Evaluating non-equilibrium trajectories via mean back relaxation: Dependence on length and time scales
The mean back relaxation (MBR) relates the value of a stochastic process at three different time points. It has been shown to detect broken detailed balance under certain conditions. For experiments of probe particles in living and passivated cells, MBR was found to be related to the so called effective energy, which quantifies the violation of the fluctuation dissipation theorem. In this manuscript, we discuss the dependence on the length and time parameters that enter MBR, both for cells as w…
