You can see that from here: New telescope attachment allows ground-based observations of new worlds to rival those from space
A team of astronomers led by researchers at Penn State have developed beam-shaping diffusers – small pieces of etched glass that can be mounted on telescopes – that increase the quality of ground-based photometric observations.

New statistical method for evaluating reproducibility in studies of genome organization
Schematic representation of the HiCRep method. HiCRep uses two steps to accurately assess the reproducibility of data from Hi-C experiments. Step 1: Data from Hi-C experiments (represented in triangle graphs) is first smoothed in order to allow researchers to see trends in the data more clearly. Step 2: The data is stratified based on distance to account for the overabundance of nearby interactions in Hi-C data. Credit: Li Laboratory, Penn State University

Gene associated with schizophrenia risk regulates neurodevelopment
The ZNF804A protein and ribosomal protein RPSA, co-localized in mouse nerve cells, were stained with fluorescent dyes and merged into a single image. Both are involved in the translation of proteins from RNA. A new study demonstrates the role of ZNF804A during proliferation and migration of neurons in the brain as well as its contribution to psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia.
