Discovering a new fundamental underwater force
A team of mathematicians from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Brown University has discovered a new phenomenon that generates a...
Scientists build an exceptional surface out of exceptional points
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are exceptional in many respects. Working in collaboration with the Imperial College London,...
Researchers move one step further towards understanding how life evolved
A fundamental problem for biology is explaining how life evolved. How did we get from simple chemical reactions in the prebiotic soup, to animals...
Why some planets eat their own skies
For many years, for all we knew, our solar system was alone in the universe. Then better telescopes began to reveal a treasure trove...
Researchers create functional mini-liver by 3-D bioprinting
Using human blood cells, Brazilian researchers have obtained hepatic organoids ("mini-livers") that perform all of the liver's typical functions, such as producing vital proteins,...
Paper-based test could diagnose Lyme disease at early stages
After a day hiking in the forest, the last thing a person wants to discover is a tick burrowing into their skin. Days after...
Bite marks in fossils reveal demise of our early relatives
New fossil data show that our fishy ancestors may have risen to dominance by becoming predators of their ancient jawless cousins.

Scientists correlate photon pairs of different colors generated in separate buildings
Particles can sometimes act like waves, and photons (particles of light) are no exception. Just as waves create an interference pattern, like ripples on...
Dogs process numerical quantities in similar brain region as humans, study...
Dogs spontaneously process basic numerical quantities, using a distinct part of their brains that corresponds closely to number-responsive neural regions in humans, finds a...
