Shining a light on the mechanics of embryo development

In 1922, French physicist Léon Brillouin predicted an interesting phenomenon—when light is shone on a material, it interacts with the naturally occurring thermal vibrations within it, exchanging some energy in the process. ...

Insects contribute to atmospheric electricity

By measuring the electrical fields near swarming honeybees, researchers have discovered that insects can produce as much atmospheric electric charge as a thunderstorm cloud. This type of electricity helps shape weather events, ...
