Methane might be made by all living organisms p.396

It is textbook knowledge that some bacteria can generate methane enzymatically. A study now provides evidence that an alternative, non-enzymatic mode of methane production could occur in all metabolically active cells.

Superfluid confines exotic atoms without disrupting precision measurements p.398

High-precision measurements of exotic atoms containing antimatter are shown to be equally precise when the atoms are immersed in superfluid helium. Such immersion could be used for other atoms in studies of dark matter.
