An international team of scientists working with Heliconius butterflies at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama was faced with a mystery: How do…
A new device can deposit drug-delivering fibers directly onto biological material. With newly developed technology, medical personnel can manufacture a bandage with drug-delivery capabilities directly…
The Universe is simply so vast that it can be difficult to maintain a sense of scale. Many galaxies we see through telescopes such as…
University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers have cultivated lifelike chemical reactions while pioneering a new strategy for studying the origin of life. The work is far from…
New research has found a fundamental flaw in the way devices ‘talk’ to apps that leaves Bluetooth-enabled devices vulnerable to hacking. Mobile apps that work…
You’ve probably seen a lichen, even if you didn’t realize it. If you’ve ever meandered through the forest and wondered what the crusty stuff on…
Researchers generate terahertz laser with laughing gas: Device may enable “T-ray vision” and better wireless communication. Within the electromagnetic middle ground between microwaves and visible…
In a finding that reveals an entirely new state of matter, research published in the journal Science shows that Cooper pairs, electron duos that enable…
Even by the wild standards of the outer solar system, the strange orbits that carry Neptune’s two innermost moons are unprecedented, according to newly published…
Findings link healthy sleep to brain-wave bursts that mathematically mimic earthquakes. New research in rats shows that cortical arousals and brief awakenings during sleep exhibit…
North Carolina State University researchers have developed what is, to date, the most efficient means of converting sewage sludge and restaurant grease into methane. After…
Theoretical tubulanes inspire ultrahard polymers: Rice University-printed sample is full of holes, but stops bullets better than solid materials. A lightweight material full of holes…
Using crystallographic analyses at the Diamond Light Source (DLS) synchrotron in the United Kingdom, an HZB team has demonstrated that hybrid halide perovskites crystallize without…
A new instrument with its eye on the Moon is taking off aboard a high-altitude NASA plane to measure the Moon’s brightness and eventually help…
New study proposes light signature for detecting black hole mergers. Gravitational wave detectors are finding black hole mergers in the universe at the rate of…
Researchers from Russian corporation Neurobotics and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have found a way to visualize a person’s brain activity as actual…
The oldest and thickest Arctic sea ice is disappearing twice as fast as ice in the rest of the Arctic Ocean, according to new research….
The Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission captured the multiple bushfires burning across Australia’s east coast. Around 150 fires are still burning in New South Wales and Queensland,…
