Anybody who has ever struggled to get enough sleep knows just how much in life can interfere with our rest, and just how detrimental this can be to our health and happiness. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Animal ...
Animals were once considered mindless—incapable of thoughts or feelings.
Remote-controlled microflow using light-controlled state transitions within DNA condensates has been reported by scientists from the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. By switching between ultraviolet light (UV) and visible ...
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers from Canada and Switzerland have discovered a new galaxy, which received designation COSMOS2020-635829. The newfound object appears to undergo a ram pressure stripping ...
Imagine a bacterial cell—one of the multi-drug-resistant varieties that keep infectious disease experts up at night—blown apart like a microscopic firecracker.
Animals, from worms and sponges to jellyfish and whales, contain anywhere from a few thousand to tens of trillions of nearly genetically identical cells. Depending on the organism, these cells arrange themselves into a variety ...
Earthworms often form a cluster, from which they can barely free themselves. A similarly active, writhing structure forms when the tentacles of lion's mane jellyfish become entangled. Robotic grippers utilize this principle ...
A study from the University of Vienna reveals that sea anemones use a molecular mechanism known from bilaterian animals to form their back-to-belly body axis. This mechanism ("BMP shuttling") enables cells to organize themselves ...
Astronomers have discovered a "jellyfish" galaxy whose unusual shape and internal mechanisms—including distinctive "bunny ears" and an inner "tail"—are giving researchers an unprecedented view of dynamics within one of the ...
