Collective frequency-selective resonance in depolarised cardiac tissue enables reversible switching between quiescent and ectopic oscillations through hidden bi-stability, which is shaped by light intensity, illuminated area, and pacing frequency.

Raman spectroscopy can be used to predict cellular physiology and proteome composition in E. coli.

Analysis of ~50 million articles published in ~50 thousand journals demonstrates that journals have become more diverse in terms of both interdisciplinarity and internationalization but with some disciplinary differences.

Analyzing stochastic cell-to-cell variability can potentially reveal causal interactions in gene regulatory networks.

Postural adjustments that reduce ankle leverage in kangaroos enhance tendon stress and elastic energy storage at higher speeds, providing energetic efficiency during hopping but potentially constraining the maximum size achievable by large species.

Like disadvantageous inequity aversion, advantageous inequity aversion can be learned by observing another’s fairness preferences.
