Abstract The nearby star Fomalhaut is orbited by a compact source, Fomalhaut b, which has previously been interpreted as either a dust-enshrouded exoplanet or a dust cloud generated by the collision of two planetesimals. Such collisions are rarely observed but their debris can appear in direct imaging. We report Hubble Space Telescope observations that show the appearance in 2023 of a second point source around Fomalhaut, resembling the appearance of Fomalhaut b twenty years earlier.

Abstract Single-cell sequencing methods uncover natural and induced variation between cells. Many functional genomic methods, however, require multiple steps that cannot yet be scaled to high throughput, including assays on living cells. Here we develop capsules with amphiphilic gel envelopes (CAGEs), which selectively retain cells and large analytes while being freely accessible to media, enzymes and reagents.

Abstract Biological systems are inherently complex and heterogeneous. Deciphering this complexity increasingly relies on high-throughput single-cell omics methods and tools that efficiently probe the cellular phenotype and genotype.
