Researchers at The Ohio State University have turned mushrooms into organic memory devices that mimic brain-like computing. The fungal circuits, powered by shiitake and button mushrooms, can switch between electrical states thousands of times per second, offering a biodegradable, low-cost alternative to conventional microchips.

MIT physicists have developed a molecular technique using radium monofluoride that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing particle accelerators and offering new insight into matter–antimatter asymmetry.

Laboratory experiments reveal that radiation striking Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus can create simple organic molecules, reshaping how scientists interpret Cassini’s data and highlighting radiation’s key role in the chemistry of icy moons.
