Doomsday Clock stands at 100 seconds to midnight Space 1/29/2021 Mindy Weisberger © Provided by Space During Operation Upshot-Knothole, the U.S. Army exploded 11 nuclear bombs at a test site in Nevada between March and June in 1953. In the last of those tests code name Climax a 61-kiloton device was detonated on June 4, 1953.
Nuclear weapons, global pandemics, accelerating climate change: Is humanity running out of time? Despite 2020 s general awfulness, humanity paused on the path forward to armageddon at least, according to the Doomsday Clock, a hypothetical timepiece that annually assesses our nearness to utter annihilation.
This year, the Doomsday Clock s hands will not be moving forward, and it continues to show the same time that was set last year: 100 seconds to midnight, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS), a global organization of science and policy experts, announced at a virtual press event on Weds. (Jan. 27).

Identifying transcript location in cells
Identifying where specific RNAs occur within a cell or tissue has been limited by technology and imaging capabilities. Expansion microscopy has allowed for better visualization of small structures by expanding the tissues with a polymer- and hydrogel-based system. Alon
et al. combined expansion microscopy with long-read in situ RNA sequencing, resulting in a more precise visualization of the location of specific transcripts. This method, termed “ExSeq” for expansion sequencing, was used to detect RNAs, both new transcripts and those previously demonstrated to localize to neuronal dendrites. Unlike other in situ sequencing methods, ExSeq does not target sets of genes. This technology thus unites spatial resolution, multiplexing, and an unbiased approach to reveal insights into RNA localization and its physiological roles in developing and active tissue.
The long-running dispute between India and China over the Himalayan border could potentially escalate into world war 3 due to the countries that may get involved. Following the altercations that happened months prior, China has now stepped up its military forces at the border even more by deploying missile launchers.
Another skirmish between Indian and Chinese troops occurred again last week, according to India’s military. The assaults left several troops injured, adding to the casualties that both sides received at the highly-contested border. Now, according to Kanwa Defense Review editor Andrei Chang, China has now ramped up its efforts to exert its presence at the border as Beijing has deployed ballistic missile launchers. Chang added that China moved 16 DF-26 IRBM launchers to the eastern Shandong province, within the range of Japan.
