The core problem
Article Abstract:
Shock-wave experiments on the compression of hydrogen has broad implications for understanding the cores of Jupiter and Saturn and even the formation of extrasolar planets. A further study of a proposed mission to Jupiter called Juno is announced by NASA that has a prime objective of measuring Jupiter's gravitational and magnetic fields at very close range, to discern whether the planet has a dense core.

Methane storms on Saturn's moon Titan
Article Abstract:
Three-dimensional dynamical calculations, which show that sever methane convective storms accompanied by intense precipitation may occur in Titan, Saturn's moon, under the right environmental conditions, are presented. They predict that the intense showers would leave a signature on the surface in the form of temporary liquid deposits and surface cooling by ~1 K.

A strong decrease in Saturn's equatorial jet at cloud level
Article Abstract:
The location and intensity of Jupiter and Saturn which has a puzzling system of zonal winds altering in latitude and its effect in cloud level is examined. The large drop in the velocity of the equatorial jet due to Saturn's wind is analyzed.
