We investigated the effect of variations in ice shell thickness and of the tiger stripe fractures crossing Enceladus' south polar terrain on the moon's tidal deformation by performing finite element calculations in three-dimensional geometry. The combination of thinning in the polar region and the presence of faults has a synergistic effect that leads to an increase of both the displacement and stress in the south polar terrain by an order of magnitude compared to that of the traditional model with a uniform shell thickness and without faults. Assuming a simplified conductive heat transfer and neglecting the heat sources below the ice shell, we computed the global heat budget of the ice shell.

- Scientists created a new tool for a special type of microscope that helps look at tiny particles called upconverting nanoparticles (UCNP) better.
- They used a special laser and some cool lenses to make sure the light covers the entire area they want to look at evenly.
- With this new tool, they discovered that some tiny capsules helped these UCNPs get into breast cancer cells much more effectively when they had a specific targeting molecule on them.
