Science Notebook | A tool to track cell-to-cell interactions, a synchrotron on solar power, and a galactic emission and the Big Bang

A fundamental goal of basic biology is understanding how diverse cell types work in concert to form tissues, organs, and organ systems. While recent efforts to catalogue the different cell types in every tissue in human bodies are a step in the right direction, they address only one piece of the puzzle. The big mystery …
