(Phys.org)—Complex systems often exhibit metastable dynamical behavior – that is, the systems appears to be in an equilibrium state but are actually confined to part of the phase space, while at much longer time scales ...
Stimuli-responsive, self-folding, two-dimensional (2-D) layered materials have interesting functions for flexible electronics, wearables, biosensors, and photonics applications. However, limits with scalability and a lack ...
An ongoing debate among scientists, on why chimpanzees and other nonhuman primates cannot speak or sing like humans, has focused mainly on evolutionary changes in human brain development. Attention has now expanded to anatomical ...
