Discovery makes the invisible visible
Australian scientists have discovered a new way to analyze microscopic cells, tissues and other transparent specimens, through the improvement of an almost 100-year-old imaging...
Dogs synchronize their behavior with children, but not as much as with adults, study...
Dogs synchronize their behavior with the children in their family, but not as much as they do with adults, a new study from Oregon...
New study ties India’s genetic diversity to language, not geography
The popularity of genetic and ancestry services like Ancestry.com and 23andMe attests that people care about where their ancestors originated. The underlying assumption is...
Nuclear physicist’s voyage toward a mythical island
Theories were introduced as far back as the 1960s about the possible existence of superheavy elements. Their most long-lived nuclei could give rise to...
Physicists use ‘hyperchaos’ to model complex quantum systems at a fraction of the computing...
Physicists have discovered a potentially game-changing feature of quantum bit behavior which would allow scientists to simulate complex quantum systems without the need for...
Researchers develop biodegradable printed display
In the next years, increasing use of electronic devices in consumables and new technologies for the internet of things will increase the amount of...
Intercontinental study sheds light on the microbial life of sourdough
In a study of 500 sourdough starters spanning four continents, scientists have garnered new insights into the environmental factors that contribute to each sourdough...
Researchers construct molecular nanofibers that are stronger than steel
Self-assembly is ubiquitous in the natural world, serving as a route to form organized structures in every living organism. This phenomenon can be seen,...
Study provides insight into how the brain may have evolved
Researchers from The University of Western Australia have uncovered evidence of an important genetic step in the evolution of the brain. The finding highlights...
Physicists succeed in filming phase transition with extremely high spatial and temporal resolution
Laser beams can be used to change the properties of materials in an extremely precise way. This principle is already widely used in technologies...
Researchers guide a single ion through a Bose-Einstein condensate
Transport processes are ubiquitous in nature, but still raise many questions. The research team around Florian Meinert from the Fifth Institute of Physics at...
