An icy Earth-like planet may exist. HD 137010 b orbits a Sun-like star at −90°F. Assistant Professor Jonathan Blazek says it could help us understand our origins—and if we’re alone. Read more: bit.ly/4stZ9sn #COSConnects #Astrophysics

The pandemic may be over, but health threats remain. Professor Alessandro Vespignani and his team developed new data tools to track how Americans move and interact post-COVID, improving models for future outbreaks. Read more: bit.ly/4uS0MSc #COSConnects #Physics

How accurate is the science behind Project Hail Mary? Astrophysicist Jacqueline McCleary breaks down what the film gets right — and where fiction takes over. Read more: bit.ly/4c1K0J3 #COSConnects #Astrophysics

Congratulations to Professor Alessandro Vespignani who has been awarded the prestigious European Physical Society Statistical and Nonlinear Physics Division Prize 2025.

Congratulations Professor Fabian Ruehle AI Starts to Sift Through String Theory quantamagazine.org/ai-starts-to-s…

Very excited for @Luning_Y on the publication of his work on unfolding and pulling proteins through biological nanopores. Tweetorial coming soon! This collaboration with @aksimentievLab and Min Chen at @UMassAmherst has been so fun! rdcu.be/c23l0

Like other HMGB proteins, human FACT destabilizes nucleosomes to facilitate transcription. Why is the rest of this large protein needed? doi.org/10.1016/j.celr… shows that the SSRP1 HMGB domain coordinates with the SPT16 domain to facilitate nucleosome reassembly after disruption

The N protein of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, is essential for viral replication, making it an attractive drug target. The N protein contains two primary structural domains. How do they coordinate to compact the viral genome? Find out in doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk…
