Could AI help us create virtual human cells? 🦠🧪
Scientists are training AI to create virtual human cells, digital models that mimic how real cells behave. These simulations can predict how a cell might respond to medication, genetic mutations, or physical damage.

We just heard Martian thunder for the first time, captured by NASA’s Perseverance rover! 🔴⚡🧪
As a dust devil twisted across the Martian surface, tiny grains of dust collided and built up static electricity. That charge was released in small bursts, creating what scientists call Martian lightning.

Can snowflakes grow from vapor in real time? ❄️🧪
In this demo Museum Educator Kim mimics how snowflakes naturally form in the atmosphere, starting with water vapor, a supercooled wire, and a blast of liquid nitrogen.

You could see 150 shooting stars an hour this month! 🌠🧪
The Geminid meteor shower arrives on December 4–17, and will peak overnight December 13–14! One of the biggest celestial events of the year, the Geminids are known for producing up to 150 meteors per hour at their peak.

Can your brain really shut off chronic pain? 🧠🧪
In a recent discovery, scientists identified a hidden pain off switch in the brainstem, the same region that controls hunger, thirst, and fear.

A supermoon is lighting up our skies, and this one shows up before sunset! 🌕🧪
The next supermoon rises on December 4, as the Moon reaches perigee. That is its closest orbital point to Earth, where it can appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical full moon.
