Better usability by a wide range of models.
Chimpanzees cooperate with each other in various ways but the underlying motivation of these behaviours is not always clear. For this reason, the Max Planck…
Tropical Depression Dora developed around 11 p.m. EDT on Saturday, June 24 about 180 miles (290 km) south of Acapulco, Mexico. By 5 a.m. EDT on June 25, the…
Being able to both walk and take flight is typical in nature – many birds, insects, and other animals can do both. If we could program robots with similar…
“The power of this new approach is in the ability we now have to scale it up,” says senior author Joseph Ecker, professor and director of Salk's Genomic…
Global solar energy production is taking a major hit due to air pollution and dust.
Modulating the amplitude and phase of light is a key ingredient for many of applications such as wavefront shaping, transformation optics, phased arrays,…
This ice sheet alone lowered global sea-level by over 20 meters. As it melted and collapsed, it caused severe flooding across the continent, led to dramatic…
The scientists led by Anders Nilsson had been studying so-called amorphous ice. This glass-like form of frozen water has been known for decades. It is quite…
Using forest biomass products—such as timber, fuel wood, or paper—in a sustainable manner, without exhausting resources or diminishing forest biodiversity,…
Stem cells are considered biological allrounders because they have the potential to develop into the various body cell types. For the majority of stem cells,…
3D printers have been around since the 1980s, but we are still far from maximizing their potential. One active area of research and development is…
UW Medicine researchers have developed a technique for inserting a gene into specific cell types in the adult brain in an animal model.
Biomedical engineers have built simple machines out of DNA, consisting of arrays whose units switch reversibly between two different shapes.
Assistant Professor Taichi Goto at Toyohashi University of Technology elucidated the noise generation mechanism of the spin wave (SW), the wave of a magnetic…
Potassium is highly concentrated in all cells, and it is the main determinant of turgor pressure. Too much potassium and the cell can rupture due to water…
