Simple experiment explains magnetic resonance
Physicists at University of California, Riverside, have designed an experiment to explain the concept of magnetic resonance. The project was carried out by…
Approaching the perception of touch in the brain
An encouraging pat on the back or a soft sweater on the skin – even things that we do not actively explore with the hands, we perceive with our body…
The Brain Does not Follow the Head
The human brain is like a fish in an aquarium, floating inside the liquid-filled braincase – but filling it out almost completely. The relationship between the…
Physics that gets under your skin
Due to modern advances in medicine ever smaller objects are moved through the human body: nanotherapeutics, micro-implants, mini-catheters and tiny medical…
World's smallest MRI performed on single atoms
Researchers at the Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) at Ewha Womans University have made a major scientific…
Special magnetic resonance imaging technique shows what frogs hear
Acoustic signals play a vital role in animal life-history. Many animals use sound or vibrational cues to localize conspecifics such as mating partners or…
