| With impressive accuracy, dogs can sniff out coronavirus Posted: 16 Apr 2021 09:01 AM PDT In a proof-of-concept study, dogs identified positive samples with 96 percent accuracy. |
| Tiny cat-sized stegosaur leaves its mark Posted: 16 Apr 2021 09:01 AM PDT A single footprint left by a cat-sized dinosaur around 100 million years ago has been discovered in China by an international team of palaeontologists. |
| Surprise twist suggests stars grow competitively Posted: 16 Apr 2021 09:00 AM PDT A survey of star formation activity in the Orion Nebula Cluster found similar mass distributions for newborn stars and dense gas cores, which may evolve into stars. Counterintuitively, this means that the amount of gas a core accretes as it develops, and not the initial mass of the core, is the key factor in deciding the final mass of the produced star. |
| Experiments cast doubts on the existence of quantum spin liquids Posted: 16 Apr 2021 09:00 AM PDT A quantum spin liquid is a state of matter in which interacting quantum spins do not align even at lowest temperatures, but remain disordered. Research on this state has been going on for almost 50 years, but whether it really exists has never been proven beyond doubt. An international team has now put an end to the dream of a quantum spin liquid for the time being. Nevertheless, the matter remains exciting. |
