Operation IceBridge, NASA's airborne survey of polar ice, launched a short campaign on July 17 from Thule Air Base, in northwest Greenland. Weather permitting,…
Dr James Burridge from the University of Portsmouth has published a theory using ideas from physics to predict where and how dialects occur.
That is the result of a new process that naturally produces patterned monolayers that can act as a base for creating a wide variety of novel materials with…
A new way of producing the seasonal flu vaccine could speed up the process and provide better protection against infection.
Just as parents are not the root of all their children's problems, a single gene mutation can't be blamed for complex brain disorders like autism, according to…
An article published today in the journal eLife by researchers at the University of Adelaide and Lund University has offered more insights into the complexity…
An international group of astronomers lead by scientists from the University of Göttingen has detected unexpectedly strong magnetic fields on the surface of a…
Light-matter quasi-particles can be generated electrically in semiconducting carbon nanotubes. Material scientists and physicists from Heidelberg University…
Using the largest and most informative molecular phylogenetic dataset ever analysed, evolutionary biologists were able to construct a new phylogenetic tree of…
Speeding up data processing in computers goes hand in hand with a greater heat generation, which limits the performance of fast computers. Researchers have…
From bacteria to humans, the way organisms look and function depends a lot on how much product is made from each gene, in other words how active their genes…
At first glance, the proximity sensor appears to be nothing special: a thin, elastic layer of silicone onto which black square surfaces are printed, but these…
In order to send, receive, and process electromagnetic signals, antennas are used. An antenna is a device capable of effectively transmitting, picking up, and…
“A total eclipse is a dance with three partners: the moon, the sun and Earth,” said Richard Vondrak, a lunar scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in…
A global team of computer scientists and engineers have developed an innovative technique that more completely reconstructs challenging 3D objects. An ancient…
