Mathematicians Transcend a Geometric Theory of Motion
More than 30 years ago, Andreas Floer changed geometry. Now, two mathematicians have finally figured out how to extend his revolutionary perspective......»»
Follow the salt: Connecting salt concentrations and motion in roundworms
Joint research led by Ayaka Matsumoto and Yuichi Iino of the University of Tokyo demonstrates that temporal decrease in salt concentration leads to the activation of the neck motor neuron of roundworms, but only in a specific phase of its activity......»»
New research examines how assumptions affect motion capture technology
Motion capture technology has applications in a wide range of fields, including entertainment, medicine, and sports, to name a few. But what if the measurements these systems were based on were rooted in social practices and biased assumptions, leadi.....»»
New research sheds light on a phenomenon known as "false vacuum decay"
An experiment conducted in Italy, with theory support from Newcastle University, has produced the first experimental evidence of vacuum decay......»»
So far, Apple is struggling to market Apple Vision Pro
Apple has floundered with its marketing for the Apple Vision Pro and it may not return to form until one specific, compelling use for the headset emerges.What's up with Apple's marketing of the Apple Vision Pro?The theory I learned when I studied mar.....»»
Clutch-stack-driven molecular gears in crystals could propel material innovation
Gears are an essential component of everyday machines. The ability to shift gears, like in a car, allows for control of the degree or direction of motion generated, making machines more versatile......»»
Astrophysicist proposes a new theory of gravity without a conservation law
The general theory of relativity is based on the concept of curved space–time. To describe how the energy and momentum of fields are distributed in space–time, as well as how they interact with the gravitational field, a special mathematical cons.....»»
New game theory model taps power of cooperation to promote sustainable palm oil production in Indonesia
"Tropical forests are a critical resource," says Xavier Warnes, Ph.D. '21, a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford Graduate School of Business. "They store huge amounts of carbon, they affect weather patterns and water systems, and they contain around.....»»
Turn An Old 3D Printer Into A Robotic 4 Axis Camera Motion System
The last year or two in 3D printing has brought us some major improvements in 3D printing. This also means that there are tons of 3d printers out there that are now feeling aged and beyond their life. Luckily, even the cheapest and slowest 3d printe.....»»
Climate change, nature loss are our biggest environmental problems. Why isn"t the market tackling them together?
Climate change and biodiversity loss are arguably the greatest environmental challenges the world faces. The way we use land is crucial in finding solutions to these problems. In theory, actions such as revegetation and avoiding land clearing can tac.....»»
The implications of "Oumuamua on the panspermia theory
On October 19, 2017, astronomers with the Pan-STARRS survey detected an interstellar object (ISO) passing through our solar system for the first time. The object, known as 1I/2017 U1 'Oumuamua, stimulated significant scientific debate and is still co.....»»
Information Theory Can Help Us Search for Life on Alien Worlds
Information theory can help us decode signs of biological activity hiding in the atmospheres of distant exoplanets.....»»
Planetesimals are buffeted by wind in their nebula, throwing debris into space: Study
Before planets form around a young star, the protosolar disk is populated with innumerable planetesimals. Over time, these planetesimals combine to form planets, and the core accretion theory explains how that happens. But before there are planets, t.....»»
Those Games turns crappy mobile game ads into actually good puzzles
It's pin-pulling, color-pouring, fake-but-real fun, and you only pay once. Enlarge / Can you master the ornate physics and inscrutable game theory necessary to overcome this challenge? (credit: D3Publisher) You've seen t.....»»
Need for speed: How hummingbirds switch mental gears in flight
Hummingbirds use two distinct sensory strategies to control their flight, depending on whether they're hovering or in forward motion, according to new research by University of British Columbia (UBC) zoologists......»»
Thread border router fix should improve smart home networking
The Thread Group will be fixing one of the largest adoption issues of Matter as a smart home standard, by making Thread border routers work nicely as one larger network.Eve Motion, a Thread-enabled deviceOne of the problems with using Thread in a sma.....»»
Stripes in a flowing liquid crystal suggest a route to "chiral" fluids
Hold your hands out in front of you, and no matter how you rotate them, it's impossible to superimpose one over the other. Our hands are a perfect example of chirality—a geometric configuration by which an object cannot be superimposed onto its mir.....»»
I tried the world’s lightest 14-inch gaming laptop — here’s what surprised me
HP claims its new Omen Transcend 14 is the world's lightest 14-inch gaming laptop. Here's what surprised me after spending some time with the laptop......»»

Anoxia begets anoxia: A positive feedback to the deoxygenation of temperate lakes
Anoxia threatens inland waters worldwide. Once it has occurred in a lake, the lack of oxygen even sets in motion a downward spiral that accelerates with increasing global warming. This is indicated by the results of an international study involving r.....»»
A method to straighten curved space-time
One of the greatest challenges of modern physics is to find a coherent method for describing phenomena, on the cosmic and microscale. For over a hundred years, to describe reality on a cosmic scale we have been using general relativity theory, which.....»»
