A pair of researchers, one with the Max Planck Institute of Brain Research, the other with Imperial College, has found more efficient ways to mix two fluids using simulations run on a supercomputer. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review Flui…

As warming ocean temperatures threaten the existence of coral reefs, scientists have successfully used an extremely high-resolution computer simulation of ocean circulation to identify possible 'thermal refugia' where these biodiverse ecosystems are more like…

Researchers propose objective criteria to examine subjective experiences and reveal their neuronal basis.

Nature Aging - Reducing ovarian fibrosis extends female reproductive lifespan

Researchers at the Universities of Bayreuth and Linköping have produced two surprising compounds of nitrogen and the rare earth metal yttrium under very high pressure. The new polynitrides contain ring- and spiral-shaped crystal structures of nitrogen that ha…

To understand the contribution of variants to transcript expression regulation, long-read transcriptome data are generated from the GTEx resource, and a new software package to perform allele-specific analysis is developed.

A pair of researchers at the University of California's, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, has found that the slow swimming lionfish is able to catch and eat faster prey by using persistence. In their paper published in Proceedings of the Royal …

The star first discovered by Hubble has been spotted by the JWST.

Over 140 documents from notebooks and reports that feature first-person accounts of glacial landscapes from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries are now available to the public through the CU Digital Library.

A role for RNA editing in autoimmune disease.

Researchers used radiation left over from the Big Bang to explore how dark matter is distributed around ancient galaxies.

Components could have aerospace, medical, energy and automotive applications. A team of scientists have 3D printed a dual-phase, nanostructured high-entropy alloy that exceeds the strength and ductility of other state-of-the-art additively manufactured materi…

The pair will be close enough to view with a telescope.

Countless studies have sought to quantify various aspects of human impacts on the planet, but sorting through that data to get answers about the effect we're actually having can be a challenge for researchers, policymakers, and the public alike. A team of res…

Researchers from the Gerlich Group at IMBA—Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences—discovered a molecular mechanism that confers special physical properties to chromosomes in dividing human cells to enable their faithful trans…

Scientists from The University of Manchester have developed a novel yet simple method for producing vertical stacks of alternating superconductor and insulator layers of tantalum disulphide (TaS2). The findings, from a team led by Professor Rahul Nair, could …

Neuroscientists at Goethe University, Frankfurt have discovered a feedback loop that modulates the receptivity of the auditory cortex to incoming acoustic signals when bats emit echolocation calls. In a study published in the journal Nature Communications, th…
