| Ocean currents predicted on Saturn's moon Enceladus Posted: 25 Mar 2021 04:02 PM PDT New research could inform where to one day search for signs of life on Saturn's moon Enceladus. |
| Wisdom, loneliness and your intestinal multitude Posted: 25 Mar 2021 12:00 PM PDT Scientists have taken the connection between wisdom, loneliness and biology one step further, reporting that wisdom and loneliness appear to influence -- and/or be influenced by -- microbial diversity of the gut. |
| Soft robotic dragonfly signals environmental disruptions Posted: 25 Mar 2021 09:08 AM PDT Engineers have developed an electronics-free, entirely soft robot shaped like a dragonfly that can skim across the water and react to environmental conditions such as pH, temperature or the presence of oil. The proof-of-principle demonstration could be the precursor to more advanced, autonomous, long-range environmental sentinels for monitoring a wide range of potential telltale signs of problems. |
| The very first structures in the Universe Posted: 25 Mar 2021 08:53 AM PDT The first moments of the Universe can be reconstructed mathematically even though they cannot be observed directly. Physicists have greatly improved the ability of complex computer simulations to describe this moment, discovering that a complex network of structures can form in the first trillionth of a second after the Big Bang. These microscopic clumps have masses of only a few grams and fit into volumes much smaller than particles. |
| Revealing nano big bang: Scientists observe the first milliseconds of crystal formation Posted: 25 Mar 2021 07:12 AM PDT Scientists recruited a world-leading microscope to capture atomic-resolution, high-speed images of gold atoms self-organizing, falling apart, and then reorganizing many times before settling into a stable, ordered crystal. |
| Posted: 25 Mar 2021 05:48 AM PDT Medieval and early modern lawyers chose to write on sheepskin parchment because it helped prevent fraud, new analysis suggests. |
| Small robot swimmers that heal themselves from damage Posted: 24 Mar 2021 08:35 AM PDT Living tissue can heal itself from many injuries, but giving similar abilities to artificial systems, such as robots, has been extremely challenging. Now, researchers have developed small, swimming robots that can magnetically heal themselves on-the-fly after breaking into two or three pieces. The strategy could someday be used to make hardier devices for environmental or industrial clean up, the researchers say. |
| Searching for hints of new physics in the subatomic world Posted: 24 Mar 2021 08:34 AM PDT Quantum chromodynamics, or QCD, is the theory of the strong interaction between quarks and gluons. Lattice QCD uses supercomputers to explore 'tantalizing hints' of new physics in discrepancies between experimental and theoretical results. Carleton DeTar and Steven Gottlieb, two of the leading contemporary scholars of QCD research, are using the Frontera supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center to explore the 'anomalous magnetic moment of the muon' and measurements of the decay of B mesons. |
