A closer look at the dynamics of the p-Laplacian Allen–Cahn equation
In the past few decades, the use of phase field-modeling equations for mathematical modeling has progressed. Phase separation has been studied extensively in thermodynamics and materials engineering, but the biological field has also begun to take an.....»»
Scientists use "leaf glow" to understand changing climate
New University of Minnesota research suggests "leaf glow" provides vital information on vegetation dynamics in Arctic and boreal ecosystems like Minnesota's forests and wetlands, which are among the fastest warming in the world. Using remote sensing.....»»
A shade closer to more efficient organic photovoltaics
Transparent solar cells will transform the look of infrastructure by enabling many more surfaces to become solar panels. Now, materials called non-fullerene acceptors that can intrinsically generate charges when exposed to sunlight could make semitra.....»»
Imaging technique shows new details of peptide structures
A new imaging technique developed by engineers at Washington University in St. Louis can give scientists a much closer look at fibril assemblies—stacks of peptides that include amyloid beta, most notably associated with Alzheimer's disease......»»
Black hole "traffic jams" discovered in galactic centers by astronomers
An international study, led by researchers from Monash University, has revealed crucial insights into black hole dynamics within massive disks at the centers of galaxies......»»
Unveiling the mysteries of cell division in embryos with timelapse photography
The beginning of life is shrouded in mystery. While the intricate dynamics of mitosis are well-studied in the so-called somatic cells—the cells that have a specialized function, like skin and muscle cells—they remain elusive in the first cells of.....»»
Scientists use ancient DNA, historical context to unravel kinship, social practices of Avar society
A multidisciplinary research team led by scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology has combined ancient DNA data with a clear archaeological, anthropological and historical context to reconstruct the social dynamics of Avar.....»»
New model extends theory of pattern formation to the nano-cosmos
A new model developed by scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) extends the theory of elastic phase separation towards nanoscopic structures. Such patterns are frequent in biological systems and also used.....»»
Research combines DNA origami and photolithography to move one step closer to molecular computers
Molecular computer components could represent a new IT revolution and help us create cheaper, faster, smaller, and more powerful computers. Yet researchers struggle to find ways to assemble them more reliably and efficiently......»»
New toolkit makes molecular dynamics simulations more accessible
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have become a powerful tool in the ever-growing fields of molecular biology and drug development. While many MD simulation techniques exist, parallel cascade selection MD (PaCS-MD) is a particularly useful one when.....»»
Astronauts take major step toward Starliner’s first crewed flight
After numerous delays across many years, NASA is closer than ever to launching its first astronauts aboard the Boeing-made CST-100 Starliner spacecraft......»»
TikTok fears point to larger problem: Poor media literacy in the social media age
The U.S. government moved closer to banning the video social media app TikTok after the House of Representatives attached the measure to an emergency spending bill on Apr. 17, 2024. The House voted on each of the four components of the bill, and the.....»»
Researchers map protein network dynamics during cell division
An international team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has mapped the movement of proteins encoded by the yeast genome throughout its cell cycle. This is the first time that all the proteins of an organism have been tracked across the.....»»
Merging nuclear physics experiments and astronomical observations to advance equation-of-state research
For most stars, neutron stars and black holes are their final resting places. When a supergiant star runs out of fuel, it expands and then rapidly collapses on itself. This act creates a neutron star—an object denser than our sun crammed into a spa.....»»
Fusion-energy quest makes big advance with EU-Japan reactor
The inauguration of the world's most powerful fusion machine brings the dream of clean, safe and abundant power closer......»»
Baby white sharks prefer being closer to shore, scientists find
Remember #BabyShark? And no, this was not the very catchy song for kids that took the internet by storm. Earlier this year, social media was abuzz with stunning footage of a newborn great white shark, captured by a flying drone......»»
Google’s Rick Osterloh to Lead New Team Focused on AI
Google wants to bring Android and its Pixel brand closer than ever, with a good dash of AI sprinkled in between. The post Google’s Rick Osterloh to Lead New Team Focused on AI appeared first on Phandroid. Google’s going through.....»»
Blink Mini 2 vs. Ring Stick Up Cam Pro: Which is the best security camera?
Is the affordable Blink Mini 2 enough to protect your home, or should you get the expensive Ring Stick Up Cam Pro? Here's a closer look to help you decide......»»
AMD’s next-gen CPUs are much closer than we thought
A series of motherboard updates have laid the foundation for AMD's Zen 5 CPUs, suggesting a launch is right around the corner......»»
So THAT’S why Boston Dynamics retired its Atlas robot
A day after Boston Dynamics said it was retiring its Atlas robot, the company has unveiled a new fully electric — and even more impressive — version of the bot......»»
Boston Dynamics’ new humanoid moves like no robot you’ve ever seen
All-electric, 360-degree joints give the new Atlas plenty of inhuman movements. Enlarge / The new, all-electric Atlas. (credit: Boston Dynamics) The humanoid robotics market is starting to heat up, and the company that.....»»
