| Posted: 01 Apr 2021 12:12 PM PDT A single 'super photon' made up of many thousands of individual light particles: About ten years ago, researchers produced such an extreme aggregate state for the first time. Researchers report of a new, previously unknown phase transition in the optical Bose-Einstein condensate. This is a overdamped phase. |
| New promise of forecasting meteotsunamis Posted: 01 Apr 2021 12:12 PM PDT On the afternoon of April 13, 2018, a large wave of water surged across Lake Michigan and flooded the shores of the picturesque beach town of Ludington, Michigan, damaging homes and boat docks, and flooding intake pipes. Thanks to a local citizen's photos and other data, scientists reconstructed the event in models and determined this was the first ever documented meteotsunami in the Great Lakes caused by an atmospheric inertia-gravity wave. |
| BrainGate: High-bandwidth wireless brain-computer interface for humans Posted: 01 Apr 2021 08:24 AM PDT In an important step toward a fully implantable intracortical brain-computer interface system, BrainGate researchers demonstrated human use of a wireless transmitter capable of delivering high-bandwidth neural signals. |
| Cone snails use sexual enticements to lure prey out of hiding Posted: 31 Mar 2021 11:31 AM PDT Some cone snails use a previously undetected set of small molecules that mimic the effects of worm pheromones to drive marine worms into a sexual frenzy, making it easier to lure them out of their hiding places so the snails can gobble them up. |
| Early Earth's hot mantle may have led to Archean 'water world' Posted: 30 Mar 2021 02:10 PM PDT Earth's sea level has remained fairly constant during the last 541 million years, but a new study suggests the planet may have been covered by a vast global ocean 4 to 3.2 billion years ago. |
| How cellular 'fingertips' may help cells 'speak' to each other Posted: 22 Mar 2021 08:29 AM PDT Researchers have broadened the known functions of an under-appreciated cell structure, with possible applications in wound closure and cancer therapy. |
| Expressing some doubts about android faces Posted: 22 Mar 2021 05:55 AM PDT Researchers used infrared motion capture technology to record the facial expressions of android faces. They identified ways in which the robot faces lacked the nuance of actual human movements, which can help improve upon the current state of robotics. |
