Animal behavior analysis is a fundamental tool in various studies, ranging from basic neuroscience research to understanding the causes and treatments of diseases. It is widely applied not only in biological research but ...
Deep in the ocean lies the world's largest active carbon reservoir, which plays a pivotal role in buffering our planet's climate. Of the roughly 10 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide we emit each year, about 3 billion ...
Researchers discovered that microscopic liquid droplets swim toward solvent conditions that favor their dissolution. This mechanism may underlie some transport processes within living cells, and could be exploited to develop ...
Astronomers at Macquarie University have pioneered a new technique for observing celestial objects during the day, potentially allowing around-the-clock visual monitoring of satellites and greatly improving safety on Earth ...
University of Michigan physicists have devised a way to manipulate active fluids, a type of fluid composed of individual units that can propel themselves independently, by taking advantage of topological defects in the fluids.
Researchers at the University of Liverpool and the University of Southampton have used computational design methods to develop non-metal organic porous framework materials, with potential applications in areas such as catalysis, ...
An international research team including Los Alamos National Laboratory and Tel Aviv University has developed a unique, mechanical metamaterial that, like a computer following instructions, can remember the order of actions ...
Researchers have shown how different swimming formations may save fish energy and suggest that they only switch positions to save energy for the group when under pressure.
The seabed contains large quantities of valuable minerals and metals that are urgently needed for modern technologies such as electric cars and wind turbines. However, discovering these deposits has so far been complicated. ...
New MBARI research on a field of pockmarks—large, circular depressions on the seafloor—offshore of Central California has revealed that powerful sediment flows, not methane gas eruptions, maintain these prehistoric formations.
