Unraveling a mystery of dinoflagellate genomic architecture
New work from a Stanford University-led team of researchers including Carnegie's Arthur Grossman and Tingting Xiang unravels a longstanding mystery about the relationship between...
Physicists reveal how motion can be generated by frustration
When two people want different things, frustration is inevitable. But these non-reciprocal interactions can also occur not just between people, but in the natural...
Mating with relatives? Not a big deal in nature
We usually assume that inbreeding is bad and should be avoided under all circumstances. But new research performed by researchers at Stockholm University, published...
