| Iron-rich meteorites show record of core crystallization in system's oldest planetesimals Posted: 03 Aug 2020 09:01 AM PDT New work uncovers new details about our Solar System's oldest planetary objects, which broke apart in long-ago collisions to form iron-rich meteorites. Their findings reveal that the distinct chemical signatures of these meteorites can be explained by the process of core crystallization in their parent bodies, deepening our understanding of the geochemistry occurring in the Solar System's youth. |
| Blackjack: Can a quantum strategy help bring down the house? Posted: 03 Aug 2020 07:52 AM PDT Now researchers have shown that the weird, quantum effects of entanglement could theoretically give blackjack players even more of an edge, albeit a small one, when playing against the house. |
| New species of fungus sticking out of beetles Posted: 03 Aug 2020 07:52 AM PDT A comprehensive study on a group of unique ectoparasitic fungi associated with insects and other arthropods in Belgium and the Netherlands has been published. The paper provides identification details about a total of 140 species, including nine species that represent new country records and two species new to science, with one of them named after the 2020 quarantine period, imposed to curb the COVID-19 pandemic. |
| How human sperm really swim: New research challenges centuries-old assumption Posted: 31 Jul 2020 11:51 AM PDT A breakthrough in fertility science has shattered the universally accepted view of how sperm 'swim'. |
| Invasive lionfish may be a selective predator Posted: 22 Jul 2020 08:27 AM PDT The invasive lionfish has become a growing threat to the ecological balance of Atlantic waters. To gather insight regarding its impact on reef communities, scientists evaluated the predatory behaviors and diet choices of lionfish in a semi-natural environment. Their experiments revealed that most of them actively selected their prey species. |
