Organoids made from human liver ductal cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 (red). (Bing Zhao)


Mini organs show path of destruction
The new coronavirus can infect not only lungs, but also blood vessels, kidneys, livers and other organs, according to various experiments with laboratory-made organoids. Organoids, created from stem cells, assemble various cell types that comprise organs in the body. This allows them to model what happens in reality better than standard cell-line experiments can. Doctors knew that various organs were injured in the course of a coronavirus infection, but they didn’t know whether that damage was a direct result of the virus entering those organs. The experiments suggest it is. “We are fairly confident now that the virus that causes COVID-19 can infect tissue outside the lung and significantly contribute to disease,” says genetic engineer Josef Penninger.Nature | 6 min read

we just never know

Neutrinos are released during nuclear fusion reactions in the Sun's core. (Detlev Van Ravenswaay/Science Photo Library)
Solar fusion reveals its final secret
The theories for why the Sun shines date back to the 1930s, but one crucial bit of evidence was missing. Now, physicists have found direct evidence for a type of reaction, involving carbon and nitrogen nuclei, in which four protons fuse into a helium nucleus. The smoking gun? Neutrinos, elementary particles the reaction releases. These zip straight out from the Sun’s core, reaching Earth just 8 minutes later. The carbon–nitrogen pathway is not the only type of fusion in the Sun, and it’s not even the main one — neutrinos from all the other reactions had been detected before — but it is thought to be the dominant energy source for larger stars.

Alien energy
Experiment proves old theory of how aliens might use black holes for energy.

A theory proposed 50 years ago to explain how energy might be harvested from a black hole was verified by an experiment. Scientists from the University of Glasgow were able to provide first proof for an idea from 1969 by the famed British physicist Roger Penrose, who predicted that only an advanced alien civilization would be able to get energy in the black hole's ergosphere – the outer layer of its event horizon. Penrose thought that if you lower an object into the ergosphere, you could produce negative energy. But for this to work, the object would have to be moving faster than the speed of light. Penrose envisioned a mechanism that would split an object dropped into the black hole in two, with one part going into the hole while the other would be recovered.


As explains the press release from the University of Glasgow, the recoil generated by this process would result in the saved half gaining energy from the black hole's rotation. The team sent twisted sound waves towards a rotating sound absorber from a foam disk. Microphones positioned in the back of the disk captured the sound that passed from the speakers through the disc, which spun faster and faster. What the scientists found was that this process produced clear changes in the frequency and amplitude of the sound waves. The rotation transformed the linear effect and pulled in energy. Whether aliens are using this approach to get energy from black holes is certainly hard to ascertain, but the researchers are planning to investigate whether this effect extends to other sources like electromagnetic waves.
