Researchers turn liquid metal into a plasma
Most laypersons are familiar with the three states of matter as solids, liquids, and gases. But there are other forms that exist. Plasmas, for...
Tropical forests naturally regrow quickly, but without species variety
Tropical forests are threatened by high levels of deforestation, mostly driven by agricultural expansion. But, once agricultural fields are abandoned, they tend to naturally...
Improved regulation needed as pesticides found to affect genes in bees
Scientists are urging for improved regulation on pesticides after finding that they affect genes in bumblebees, according to research led by Queen Mary University...
Can entangled qubits be used to probe black holes?
Physicists have used a seven-qubit quantum computer to simulate the scrambling of information inside a black hole, heralding a future in which entangled quantum...
Scientists find worms that recently evolved the ability to regrow a...
An international group of researchers including biologists from the University of Maryland found that at least four species of marine ribbon worms independently evolved...
Light from an exotic crystal semiconductor could lead to better solar...
Scientists have found a new way to control light emitted by exotic crystal semiconductors, which could lead to more efficient solar cells and other...
The science of knitting, unpicked
Dating back more than 3,000 years, knitting is an ancient form of manufacturing, but Elisabetta Matsumoto of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta...
Physicists analyze rotational dynamics of galaxies and influence of the photon...
The rotation of stars in galaxies such as the Milky Way is puzzling. The orbital speeds of stars should decrease with their distance from...
Making long-lived positronium atoms for antimatter gravity experiments
The universe is almost devoid of antimatter, and physicists haven't yet figured out why. Discovering any slight difference between the behaviour of antimatter and...
Dinosaurs were thriving before asteroid strike that wiped them out
Dinosaurs were unaffected by long-term climate changes and flourished before their sudden demise by asteroid strike.
Scientists largely agree that an asteroid impact, possibly coupled...
Scientists identify gene partnerships that promote spinal cord regeneration
Researchers are one step closer to solving the mystery of why some vertebrates can regenerate their spinal cords while others, including humans, create scar...
