Random physics helps model individual ant motion
Ants make up one of the most diverse groups of animals on the planet, with many species boasting remarkable physical abilities and social behaviors, and an over...
Fluorescent nanosensors help distinguish between healthy and diseased immune cells in blood samples
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and SciLifeLab have developed a new method to analyze the condition of immune cells in the blood. The method has been teste...
Refugees reveal how community shapes success in Canada
Hungarian and Vietnamese refugees who arrived in Canada during two of the largest refugee movements in Canadian history report that strong social connections, s...
Carbon nanostructure improves fuel-cell catalyst durability while reducing platinum use
The explosion of new data centers being proposed and built around the U.S. has increased demand for energy to keep them powered and cooled. The Electric Power R...
How evolution fine tunes molecular mechanisms to create and maintain membrane diversity between species
The cell membrane is a fundamental biological structure. These lipid layers surround and organize every cell, controlling everything from signaling to transport...
Deworming products for grazing animals may disrupt food chains
Researchers from Kiel University and Trier University have shown, for the first time, that a widely used deworming product for grazing animals doesn't just harm...
X(2370) emerges as glueball-dominated particle in collider experiments
At the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Brazil, the BESIII Collaboration report that, after 15 years of sustained research, it identified the...
Measurements trace European wildfire smoke high into upper troposphere
The images of the major forest fires in Spain and France, with fire clouds near Bordeaux, have shocked many people. There have been numerous reports of the form...
Two-qubit entangling gate flags its own errors as detectable photon losses
Quantum errors are a normal part of quantum computing because fragile physical qubits (the tiny components storing data) can easily break down because of enviro...
Interlocking molecular propellers create stable 'islands' in artificial lipid membranes
Cells are enclosed by a cell membrane, a sophisticated structure mainly made of lipids that is vital for fundamental biological processes. Artificial lipid memb...
Scientists investigate continent-wide 'moisture conveyor belt' behind extreme monsoon rains
Weather scientists have long known that typhoons even hundreds of kilometers away from the Philippines can interact with the southwest monsoon, resulting in mul...
Atomic view of Alzheimer's disease peptide could inform new drugs
One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the accumulation of a peptide in the brain known as amyloid beta. A new study published in Nature Communications...
