#SpaceWeather "The exposure of a human body to ionizing #radiation ☢️ has the same harmful effects whether the source of the radiation is a medical X-ray machine, a nuclear power plant, or radiation in #space 🌌. The degree of the harmful effect depends on the length of exposure and the radiation's energy #density." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_we

We have a new paper out!

We looked at vesicle transport in cells. The textbooks say it's all motor-driven, but this idea is based on how large organelles are transported. Instead we find small vesicles move mainly by diffusion! We came up with a way to restrict the diffusion of one vesicle type (we made them furry!) & that reduces cargo delivery.

Congrats to my co-author Méghane Sittewelle who did all the imaging magic!

This is so cool.

"the team has devised a chipless, paper-only version of a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag. ... [the] design requires no other material than paper. The company simply uses a laser to mark a circuit onto its surface, with the laser settings tuned so as not to cut or burn the paper but to change its chemical composition to make it conductive."
