Since its inception in 1990, the Human Genome Project has led to breakthroughs in our understanding of genetics. In April 2003, the project was declared complete after scientists determined the sequence of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA. Alas, many questions remain about the physical rules governing a genome's organization. Among them is the question of how gravity influences life on Earth, right down to the mitochondrial level. A new study led by researchers at the Center for Soft Matter Research at New York University (NYU) seeks to address this question to help mitigate the effects of spaceflight. Behind their work is an innovative technique for creating a microgravity environment to reveal gravity's impact on human cells. This research has two goals: to isolate gravity's impact on human genes and to show how the genome functions in zero gravity.

Two people, including a child, were killed during a soccer game in Wichita, Kansas, when a person drove a vehicle through the field at Stryker soccer complex, police have confirmed. Multiple other people were injured. The driver of the vehicle is in custody, Aaron Moses of the Wichita police department said Saturday in a news conference. There were two juveniles in the vehicle, he said. Police confirmed that one child was killed at the scene and one adult was killed, but did not release any names or ages until family could be notified. “This is a tragedy,” Moses said. Those injured were taken to hospitals but the extent of their injuries is unknown. Moses said he did not know how fast the vehicle was traveling or how it got onto the field. Officials are still investigating and the city has said all events at the soccer complex are canceled until further notice. Wichita police have set up a portal for anyone to submit video evidence of the incident. A witness told local news station KWCH that a black pickup truck was seen “plowing through the youth soccer fields”. The truck hit multiple people before stopping 100-200 yards down the fields, the witness said.

3 hours agoLola SchroerAlan Westmanifest performed their first UK concert at Wembley ArenaWhen I first meet Turkish girl group manifest, we're on a boat cruising down the River Thames. The six band members are clutching Union jack umbrellas as they pose for press photographs and mingle with British pop acts, including K-pop-trained boyband dearALICE. Netflix cameras are filming the evening for a six-part documentary. The group are in London hoping to build on their success in Turkey and reach an international audience. Their ambitions come after a turbulent year at home, during which the band were prosecuted for public indecency over their outfits and dance moves during a concert in Istanbul.'We'll manifest Coachella'A few weeks after their appearance on the boat, I meet the group again at Wembley Arena, where they are preparing for their first UK concert the following night. As the staging - complete with giant LED screens and the group's logo - is set up around them, the six members rehearse synchronised choreography alongside their back-up dancers.

Two ultrashort laser pulses revealed a difficult-to-measure quantum property in an atomically thin semiconductor. Combining optical measurements with an analytical model yielded a local Berry curvature consistent with theoretical calculations. The approach could help track rapid changes in electronic quantum states, although broader applications require further testing. A crystal can send electrons sideways even without an external magnetic field. Behind that unexpected motion lies Berry curvature, a geometric property of electronic quantum states. Measuring it experimentally, however, has remained considerably harder than calculating it. A collaboration between the universities of Jena and Regensburg has demonstrated an optical approach to that problem. In Nature Photonics, the team describes how ultrashort laser pulses and an analytical model revealed local Berry curvature in tungsten diselenide. The experiment examined a semiconductor layer less than one nanometer thick. Its response to light provided a quantitative estimate that agreed with theoretical predictions.

The developer behind Russian roulette anime game Drunken Goddess Reflux has canceled its plans for a public Steam demo, citing concerns over potential AI copycats. Alliance Arts and Who You's path to launch has seemingly been mostly bump-free since it was announced back in April. Featuring ghostly pinks and purples and a gameplay premise described as "shot glass Russian roulette with a demon who loves you enough to kill you," the recent reveal that it would launch this December only made its future feel clearer. Part of that release date announcement included the promise that a demo would launch October 19, but as explained in an update post on Steam, those plans have changed. What was originally intended to be a public release for the Drunken Goddess Reflux demo has now been canceled in favor of a "closed play session for a limited number of participants. " It's a last-minute move Alliance Arts apologized for, but its concerns related to rapidly advancing AI technology were simply too great to ignore.

They say that happiness equals reality minus expectations, and, unfortunately for these eight Switch games, reality landed nowhere near what was expected. It’s hard to blame the critical and community reception for some of them, but not all of them are bad. Some just aren’t what people were hoping they would be. So we’ve ranked them by the size of the gap between promise and result, from the mild letdowns to the ones that stung most or didn’t justify for the cost. Consider this your reminder to check your expectations at the door. Expected: A showstopper. Got: A chill, easy stage show Here, Peach takes the lead in a theater full of costume-themed stage plays, including a detective, a mermaid, and a swordfighter. If you love Princess Peach and enjoy dressing up dolls — which, same — this may sound like a good conceit. Critics largely enjoyed the charm of the outfits granting Peach various abilities, but found that as a gaming experience it was “pretty, if shallow.” Others found that the game was short, without offering much of a challenge to justify its $60 price tag. Princess Peach: Showtime!

(Gregorio Borgia/The Associated Press)Pope Leo XIV returned to the Vatican on Saturday days after lung cancer surgery, as his surgeon said there are "no clinical reasons" to prevent his planned trip to Latin America next month. "The Holy Father has put his heart and soul into his recovery," Dr. Stefano Margaritora told Vatican News, adding that he expected the pope to recover fully from surgery "in another 10 days or so. "Leo, 71, is scheduled to make an ambitious Nov. 6-17 trip to Uruguay, Peru and Argentina, including a dozen flights and two helicopter rides to high altitudes.
