Quantum computer microscope is set to significantly improve electron microscopy
A quantum computer microscope will utilize quantum information carried by electrons to improve electron microscopy imaging. The new approach captures data that conventional microscopes discard when they merely count electrons.

Human brain cells grown in laboratory conditions for seven years showed aging patterns similar to those in living brains. The peppercorn-sized cell clusters demonstrated they could track the passage of time.
JWST peeks at Callisto's ancient scars
The James Webb Space Telescope detected activity on Callisto, Jupiter's moon with an ancient crater-covered surface previously thought to be geologically inactive. JWST observations revealed that Callisto undergoes more geological processes than scientists previously believed possible.
Hot temperatures can dull blue morpho butterflies' iridescent scales
High temperatures during development reduce the brightness of blue morpho butterfly iridescence by altering the scales' light-reflecting structures. Birds and other butterflies would perceive a noticeable color change in butterflies exposed to warming conditions.
