From the 1800s to the early 2000s, physicists used the same theory to understand the behavior of fluids. Now, using a modern ...
A global constellation of neutrino detectors is creating a never-before-seen view of the radioactive elements that power ...
New research is helping biologists understand how an overlooked aspect of coral physiology may affect their fate under ...
A simple scaling law brings order to the chaos of flowing water, rock, and sediment. New findings have extended the law even ...
Neuroscientist Erich Jarvis discusses how the brain circuitry for vocal learning in songbirds and humans evolved from systems for controlling body movements and why so few species have this ability.
By deciphering the molecular signatures of millions of mouse cells, Junyue Cao has found that aging is not haphazard wear and ...
In math and computer science, researchers have long understood that some questions are fundamentally unanswerable. Now physicists are exploring how even ordinary physical systems put hard limits on ...
The math, which combines chaos, quantum theory, and infinitely complex fractal structures, has been called a “foundational result.” ...
New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest that neuron-only brain models, such as connectomes, leave out a crucial ...
