Spatial microRNA profiling at single-cell resolution by in situ barcoded extension

The spatial organization of post-transcriptional regulation is a fundamental yet difficult to access layer of tissue biology. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs with a key role in post-transcriptional regulation, but their short length has excluded them from spatial profiling technologies, leaving them largely unexplored in spatial transcriptomics. Here, we introduce miR-Space, a method that…

Scientists map the microscopic roots of chaos in dusty plasma using supercomputer simulations

Research Matters Staff Writer(s) Jammu 17 Aug 2026 Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in understanding the chaotic world of turbulence by tracking the movement of millions of individual particles in a specialised state of matter known as dusty plasma.

  • Scientists map microscopic origins of turbulence in dusty plasma using supercomputer simulations.
  • Understanding dusty plasma turbulence could improve plasma containment in nuclear fusion reactors.
