New research reveals hidden processes at work in the hearts of large stars
Looking into the hearts of large stars is tricky. Researchers discover that as the core of massive stars there is an activity that is...
Mammals can breathe through anus in emergencies
Some mammals have the ability to use intestines to breathe in times of respiratory failure. This presents a possibility for clinical management among humans....
Mexican paleontologists identify new ‘talkative’ dinosaur species
The new dinosaur species, Tlatolophus galorum is herbivorous dinosaur from 73 million years ago that emitted strong sounds. Excavations in Mexico reveal an intact...
New evidence for electron’s dual nature found in a quantum spin liquid
A new study about electron’s dual nature breaks the rules of elementary physics. Researchers discover experimental evidence that electrons behave as if they are...
World’s fastest information-fueled engine designed by university researchers
Simon Fraser University researchers have designed a remarkably fast engine that taps into a new kind of fuel -- information.
The development of this engine,...
Active cavity solitons: Ultra-stable, high-power optical pulses for measuring light waves
Unlike the oscillations of sound waves, the oscillations of light are so fast that extremely complex equipment is needed to observe them directly. However,...
Newly described horned dinosaur from New Mexico was the earliest of its kind
A newly described horned dinosaur that lived in New Mexico 82 million years ago is one of the earliest known ceratopsid species, a group...
New material to treat wounds can protect against resistant bacteria
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a new material that prevents infections in wounds -- a specially designed hydrogel, that works...
‘Flipping’ optical wavefront eliminates distortions in multimode fibers
The use of multimode optical fibers to boost the information capacity of the Internet is severely hampered by distortions that occur during the transmission...
Geoscientists find that shallow wastewater injection drives deep earthquakes in Texashquakes in Texas
In a newly published paper, Virginia Tech geoscientists have found that shallow wastewater injection -- not deep wastewater injections -- can drive widespread deep...
The process of combining maternal and paternal genetic information is surprisingly error-prone
Only one in three fertilizations leads to a successful pregnancy. Many embryos fail to progress beyond early development. Cell biologists at the Max Planck...
