Credit: NASA / ESA / CSA / Western University, J. Cami They are known as "buckyballs," ball-shaped molecules that resemble a hollow sphere, and are found in space. These strange customers were first observed by Professor Jan Cami and a team from Western University in 2010 using the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST). And now, more than 15 years later, Cami and his colleagues have detected buckyballs again using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The rich data they retrieved from Webb's observations have pointed to the origin of these strange cosmic molecules. The observations were part of Cycle 3 of the JWST General Observer (GO-4076) program, titled "Fullerenes in Tc 1: a quantitative study of the interaction of large molecules with their radiative environment." The research was made possible with the support of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and a Western University Accelerator Award. Buckeyballs are fascinating molecules, consisting of 60 perfectly arranged carbon atoms, hence the chemical formula C60. The molecule was first synthesized in 1985 by Sir Harry Kroto and his colleagues at the University of Sussex, a feat that earned him the 1996 Nobel Prize in chemistry. Kroto named the molecule "buckminsterfullerene" in honor of Buckminster Fuller, the famous architect who developed geodesic domes. In addition to resembling Fuller's domes, the molecules also share the same structural principles.

(CREDIT: Wikimedia / CC BY-SA 4.0) Share this story The brain is often described as a dense forest of connections, and for years scientists have searched for ways to trim that forest with precision. They have learned how to turn neural activity up or down. Reworking the physical wiring itself has been much harder. Now a team in South Korea says it has built a tool that can do just that. Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science and the Korea Brain Research Institute developed a system called SynTrogo, short for Synthetic Trogocytosis, that lets astrocytes, the star-shaped support cells wrapped around synapses, selectively reduce synaptic connections in a chosen brain circuit. In mice, the method cut excitatory synapse numbers in a memory-related hippocampal pathway by about 27 percent. Yet instead of weakening the circuit, the remaining connections became stronger, more plastic, and better at supporting memory. “This is the first demonstration that brain circuits can be directly edited by engineering physical interactions between neurons and astrocytes, independent of neuronal activity,” said Dr. LEE Sangkyu of the IBS Center for Memory and Glioscience. “It opens the possibility of ‘connectome editing’ and provides a new platform for studying and reshaping the physical architecture of neural circuits.” Synapses are the contact points where one neuron passes signals to another. Together they form the connectome, the brain’s wiring diagram. Those links are not fixed. Throughout life, some are strengthened, some are weakened, and some are removed in a pruning process that helps circuits stay functional. When pruning goes wrong, either becoming too aggressive or too limited, it has been linked to disorders including schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Light sails, which are huge sheets pushed along by light that bounces off of them, may be the best way to travel enormous distances through space, and now we may have a way to steer them. “We knew already that any light or laser can impart momentum transfer, but now we can control the direction as well,” says Kaushik Kudtarkar at Texas A&M University. He and his colleagues created a tiny device called a metajet that uses refraction of light, not just reflection, to move in more than one direction at once. The device is a material called a metasurface, an extremely thin sheet textured to manipulate light. In this case, the researchers flipped that on its head, using the light to manipulate the metasurface. A series of tiny pillars on the material steers the light that hits it, with the size and pattern of the pillars controlling the strength and direction of the momentum that the light imparts on the entire device as it moves through. The whole thing is about 0.01 millimetres across. To test it, the researchers dropped the silicon device in water and shone a laser on it, watching it with a microscope to track its motion. They found that the metajet both levitated and moved horizontally, reaching a maximum speed of about 0.07 millimetres per second.

Brain-First Hypothesis: Rethinking the Cambrian Explosion - Neuroscience News BRAIN-FIRST HYPOTHESIS: RETHINKING THE CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION FeaturedGeneticsNeuroscience·May 9, 2026 Summary: The “Cambrian Explosion”, the period roughly 500 million years ago when animal life rapidly diversified, may not have been a sudden burst of innovation. New research suggests this was a gradual, multi-stage process fueled by the evolution of the brain. The study proposes that as marine environments became more competitive, the need to process sensory information drove neural complexity, which then provided the genetic “toolkit” for building more complex body plans. Key Research Findings The Brain-First Hypothesis: Rather than being a byproduct of complex bodies, the expansion and regionalization of the brain may have come first, enabling subsequent anatomical innovation.Ecological Feedback Loops: Increasing complexity in marine environments (predator-prey interactions) created pressure for organisms to sense and respond to their surroundings, favoring more sophisticated nervous systems.Genetic Co-option: The genetic “toolkits” used for brain development were eventually reused, or co-opted, to pattern other organ systems, such as advanced sensory organs and segmented structures.Specific Lineages: This evolutionary path was particularly pronounced in successful groups like arthropods, mollusks, annelids, and chordates.Environmental Context: Evolutionary success is not tied solely to complexity; many organisms thrive with simple body plans if they meet the specific demands of their environment. Source: Hebrew University of Jerusalem For decades, scientists have sought to explain the so-called “Cambrian Explosion,” a pivotal period over 500 million years ago when a remarkable diversity of animal life appeared in the fossil record. But rather than a sudden burst of innovation, new research suggests this diversification was the result of a gradual, multi-stage process, driven in large part by the evolution of the brain. The Brain-First Hypothesis suggests that the expansion of the brain provided the essential genetic toolkits that were later co-opted to develop the complex body plans and diverse lineages observed after the Cambrian Explosion.

The study suggests this movement style evolved only once but became a defining feature of true crabs. Credit: Shutterstock Crabs may owe their famous sideways walk to one evolutionary event that happened 200 million years ago. Researchers have uncovered new evidence about how crabs evolved their famous sideways movement, suggesting the unusual walking style first appeared about 200 million years ago. The findings, published as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, are based on the largest comparative analysis yet of crab locomotion. By combining direct observations of living crabs with evolutionary data, the team traced sideways walking back to a shared ancestor from the Jurassic period. Editors at eLife say the study provides valuable insights supported by largely convincing evidence and could interest scientists studying how animals move. The true crab Tuerkayana hirtipes is one of the species included in the study ‘Evolution of sideways locomotion in crabs’. Credit: Tsubasa Inoue (CC BY 4.0)Why True Crabs Walk Sideways Sideways movement is one of the defining characteristics of ‘true crabs’ (Brachyura), the largest group of crab decapods. Researchers say this style of movement may help crabs evade predators because it allows them to escape in less predictable directions. “Sideways locomotion may have contributed significantly to the ecological success of true crabs,” says senior corresponding author Yuuki Kawabata, Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Integrated Science and Technology, Nagasaki University, Japan. “There are around 7,904 species of true crabs, far exceeding that of their sister group, Anomura, or their closest relatives, Astacidea; they have colonized diverse habitats around the world, including terrestrial, freshwater, and deep-sea environments; and their crab-like body shape has evolved repeatedly over t...

Brain-First Hypothesis: Rethinking the Cambrian Explosion - Neuroscience News BRAIN-FIRST HYPOTHESIS: RETHINKING THE CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION FeaturedGeneticsNeuroscience·May 9, 2026 Summary: The “Cambrian Explosion”, the period roughly 500 million years ago when animal life rapidly diversified, may not have been a sudden burst of innovation. New research suggests this was a gradual, multi-stage process fueled by the evolution of the brain. The study proposes that as marine environments became more competitive, the need to process sensory information drove neural complexity, which then provided the genetic “toolkit” for building more complex body plans. Key Research Findings The Brain-First Hypothesis: Rather than being a byproduct of complex bodies, the expansion and regionalization of the brain may have come first, enabling subsequent anatomical innovation.Ecological Feedback Loops: Increasing complexity in marine environments (predator-prey interactions) created pressure for organisms to sense and respond to their surroundings, favoring more sophisticated nervous systems.Genetic Co-option: The genetic “toolkits” used for brain development were eventually reused, or co-opted, to pattern other organ systems, such as advanced sensory organs and segmented structures.Specific Lineages: This evolutionary path was particularly pronounced in successful groups like arthropods, mollusks, annelids, and chordates.Environmental Context: Evolutionary success is not tied solely to complexity; many organisms thrive with simple body plans if they meet the specific demands of their environment. Source: Hebrew University of Jerusalem For decades, scientists have sought to explain the so-called “Cambrian Explosion,” a pivotal period over 500 million years ago when a remarkable diversity of animal life appeared in the fossil record. But rather than a sudden burst of innovation, new research suggests this diversification was the result of a gradual, multi-stage process, driven in large part by the evolution of the brain. The Brain-First Hypothesis suggests that the expansion of the brain provided the essential genetic toolkits that were later co-opted to develop the complex body plans and diverse lineages observed after the Cambrian Explosion.

The study suggests this movement style evolved only once but became a defining feature of true crabs. Credit: Shutterstock Crabs may owe their famous sideways walk to one evolutionary event that happened 200 million years ago. Researchers have uncovered new evidence about how crabs evolved their famous sideways movement, suggesting the unusual walking style first appeared about 200 million years ago. The findings, published as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, are based on the largest comparative analysis yet of crab locomotion. By combining direct observations of living crabs with evolutionary data, the team traced sideways walking back to a shared ancestor from the Jurassic period. Editors at eLife say the study provides valuable insights supported by largely convincing evidence and could interest scientists studying how animals move. The true crab Tuerkayana hirtipes is one of the species included in the study ‘Evolution of sideways locomotion in crabs’. Credit: Tsubasa Inoue (CC BY 4.0)Why True Crabs Walk Sideways Sideways movement is one of the defining characteristics of ‘true crabs’ (Brachyura), the largest group of crab decapods. Researchers say this style of movement may help crabs evade predators because it allows them to escape in less predictable directions. “Sideways locomotion may have contributed significantly to the ecological success of true crabs,” says senior corresponding author Yuuki Kawabata, Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Integrated Science and Technology, Nagasaki University, Japan. “There are around 7,904 species of true crabs, far exceeding that of their sister group, Anomura, or their closest relatives, Astacidea; they have colonized diverse habitats around the world, including terrestrial, freshwater, and deep-sea environments; and their crab-like body shape has evolved repeatedly over t...
