A mathematical model connects the evolution of chickens, fish and frogs
One of the most enduring, basic questions of life is: How does it happen? For instance, in human development, how do cells self-organize into skin, muscles or bones? How do they form a brain, a finger, a spine?.....»»
New math approach provides insight into memory formation
The simple activity of walking through a room jumpstarts the neurons in the human brain. An explosion of electrochemical events or "neuronal spikes" appears at various times during the action. These spikes in activity, otherwise known as action poten.....»»
Verizon Bundles Netflix and Max for $10
Verizon’s recently-launched myPlan plans are bad, you know that. Verizon launched them by removing the free perks from previous plans, only to turn around to immediately ask customers to pay extra for those same perks. The plans are expensive,.....»»

An anisotropic density turbulence model from the sun to 1 au derived from radio observations
Density turbulence in the solar corona and solar wind is evident via the properties of solar radio bursts; angular scattering-broadening of extra-solar radio sources observed through the solar atmosphere, and can be measured in-situ in the solar wind.....»»
Study finds more stable clocks could measure quantum phenomena, including the presence of dark matter
The practice of keeping time hinges on stable oscillations. In a grandfather clock, the length of a second is marked by a single swing of the pendulum. In a digital watch, the vibrations of a quartz crystal mark much smaller fractions of time. And in.....»»
