Mars has northern and southern hemispheres like Earth, but their defining characteristics are markedly different, a phenomenon known as Martian dichotomy. The Southern Highlands are older, higher in elevation and more cratered ...
Ferroelectrics at the nanoscale exhibit a wealth of polar and sometimes swirling (chiral) electromagnetic textures that not only represent fascinating physics, but also promise applications in future nanoelectronics. For ...
Water flow plays a surprising role in the formation of new blood vessels as zebrafish develop, RIKEN researchers have discovered. This finding advances our understanding of how blood vessels sprout new branches through cell ...
Researchers at the University of Southampton have proposed that some wild plant species possess certain attributes which make them more suitable for human cultivation than others.
A study of 10 British motherhood influencers suggests they often deliberately share pictures of their children on Instagram, with strong trust in the safety of doing so. Katherine Baxter of Liverpool Hope University, U.K., ...
Indonesia produced nearly four times the amount of nickel in recent years compared to a decade earlier—following the global push for a low-carbon revolution that drives the mining for the mineral essential for electric ...
The global climate crisis, driven by the depletion of fossil fuels and rising atmospheric CO2 levels, has intensified the need for sustainable energy solutions. Among these, the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), ...
Mental health and emotional well-being hit an all-time low during the COVID-19 pandemic, but psychological problems continue to afflict many people in the U.S. Work stress may be a primary contributor—it being strongly ...
Topological insulators (TIs) are among the hottest topics in condensed matter physics today. They're a bit strange: Their surfaces conduct electricity, yet their interiors do not, instead acting as insulators. Physicists ...
Continental European snakes, geckos and Italian wall lizards are making their way to northern Europe undetected among imports of ornamental olive trees destined for gardens and green spaces.
