Study suggests nature may have had a hand in shaping Great Sphinx of Giza
A trio of experimental physicists and applied mathematicians at New York University has found evidence that Egypt's Great Sphinx of Giza may have originated as a natural formation. For their study, published in the journal Physical Review Fluids, Sam.....»»
Scientists "fingerprint" methane to track a climate change culprit
Methane is the second-most abundant greenhouse gas in Earth's atmosphere, and its emissions have been rapidly—and mysteriously—rising since 2007. Though pervasive, the origin of the colorless compound is tricky to trace, complicating efforts to c.....»»
New constraints on the presence of ultralight dark matter in the Milky Way
Dark matter, composed of particles that do not reflect, emit or absorb light, is predicted to make up most of the matter in the universe. Its lack of interactions with light, however, prevents its direct detection using conventional experimental meth.....»»
Testing the limits of AlphaFold2"s accuracy in predicting protein structure
Proteins, the workhorses of biology, are encoded by DNA sequences and are responsible for vital functions within cells. Since the first experimental measurement of a protein structure was made by John Kendrew in the 1950s, protein's ability to fold i.....»»
First experimental evidence of hopfions in crystals: Research opens up new dimension for future technology
