Scientists created half-Möbius molecules, similar to the Möbius strips common in math classes, but half as twisty. It’s a ...
Nocturnal insects may use both Earth's magnetic field and visual cues to guide their migratory flight behaviors, according to recent findings. The research, published in eLife, presents compelling ...
Order doesn’t always form perfectly—and those imperfections can be surprisingly powerful. In materials like liquid crystals, tiny “defects” emerge when symmetry breaks, shaping everything from cosmic ...
As the use of artificial intelligence across medicine increases nationwide, The Daily Pennsylvanian spoke to professors, doctors, and researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine about how they are ...
Using a magnetic compass to calculate the current in a wire. Learn how magnetic fields, compass deflection, and basic electromagnetism principles connect in a practical physics experiment.
If only they were robotic! Instead, chatbots have developed a distinctive — and grating — voice. Credit...Illustration by Giacomo Gambineri Supported by By Sam Kriss In the quiet hum of our digital ...
The international study, involving Professor Simon Cox from Aberystwyth University, reveals how diverse particles self-organize into identical geometric patterns when confined. The work is published ...
Using a new computer model, scientists simulated the stripes, spots and hexagons on a species of boxfish, imperfections and all. A male ornate boxfish with distinctive, complex patterns of stripes and ...
While companies in China, Europe and the U.S. are racing to launch constellations of thousands of satellites into orbit, leading Japanese telecommunications companies are pursuing a strategy that is a ...
NTT’s research division has developed what it claims to be the world’s first programmable nonlinear photonic waveguide capable of switching between multiple nonlinear-optical functions on a single ...
