New geological dating techniques place first European hominids in Iberian Peninsula 1.3 million years ago
One of the most important controversies about human evolution and expansion is when and by what route the first hominids arrived in Europe from the African continent. Now, geological dating techniques at the Orce sites (Baza basin, Granada) place the.....»»
What flavor is that neutrino? Adding flavor helps to track neutrino movement in astrophysical systems
Neutrinos have a quantum mechanical property called "flavor." This flavor can transform as neutrinos move through space. A major challenge is to keep track of both the physical movement of the neutrinos and their change of flavor in astrophysical sys.....»»

Island biogeography theory and habitat heterogeneity help explain global patterns of Rhododendron diversity
Mountains are defined by their prominence, steep sides, and significant height above the surrounding regions. They harbor exceptionally high levels of biodiversity and a great number of endemic species worldwide, which are also extremely sensitive to.....»»
Tensor-force effects on nuclear matter in relativistic ab initio theory
Tensor force is a crucial ingredient of the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction, and has an important impact on the structural and dynamical properties of the nuclear many-body system. Many efforts have been devoted to studying the influence of the tens.....»»
New study reevaluates the fight-or-flight concept in the context of human conflict
Research published in the International Journal of Management Concepts and Philosophy has looked at the concept of "fight-or-flight", a behavioral theory that was first proposed by American physiologist Walter Bradford Cannon in 1915. The idea is als.....»»
First set of rational design principles for chaotropic membrane transporters
