Pteropods or sea snails, also called sea angels, produce chemical deterrents to ward off predators, and some species of amphipods take advantage of this by…
Quantum particles can be difficult to characterize, and almost impossible to control if they strongly interact with each other — until now.
This breakthrough work has been recognized as a finalist for a 2018 R&D 100 award. R&D 100 awards, called the “Oscars of Innovation,” are given out by R&D…
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 322 million people worldwide were affected by depression in 2015—4.4 percent of the world’s population. In the…
Sometimes negative results can point researchers in the right direction.
NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) provided the earliest insights on May 30 when it observed an accumulation of dust in the atmosphere near Perseverance…
Our brain is a remarkably complex system. It is not only comprised of billions of neurons, but each individual neuron by itself even has exceptional processing…
