Motion-sensing cameras set up along protected California shoreline show impact of coyotes on intertidal habitats
A trio of ecologists and marine biologists at the University of California has found that coyotes are a more consistent consumer of marine fauna in intertidal habitats along California's shores than previously thought. In their study, reported in the.....»»
Study finds new type of cell related to organ movement for self-pollination in plants
A study led by Dr. Yin-Zheng Wang (Institute of Botany, the Chinese Academy of Sciences) has found that the stigma of Chirita pumila has movement and proved that the motion is associated with water sensitivity. Further, through anatomical studies, it.....»»
The idea that imprisonment "corrects" prisoners stretches back to some of the earliest texts in history
Prisons are places of suffering. But in theory, they aim for something beyond punishment: reform......»»
A Brain Implant Helped Stroke Survivors Regain Movement
Stimulating the brain with electricity has been used for 30 years to treat Parkinson’s disease. Now, researchers are testing whether it could help restore hand and arm motion......»»
The Lawlessness of Large Numbers
Mathematicians can often figure out what happens as quantities grow infinitely large. What about when they are just a little big?.....»»
‘Z-Library ‘Fugitives’ Should Be Brought to Trial in The United States’
The U.S. has responded to a motion to dismiss submitted a few weeks ago by two arrested operators of Z-Library. According to the prosecution, the Russian defendants are fugitives because they continue to protest their extradition to the United States.....»»
Study validates the simple view of reading for enhancing second and foreign language learners" experience
The simple view of reading (SVR) is a widely accepted theory that attempts to define the skills that contribute to early reading comprehension. It attributes a person's reading comprehension ability to two skills—word recognition (decoding) and lan.....»»
New research provides unprecedented look at what influences sea ice motion in the Arctic
A new study led by researchers at Brown University offers fresh insights into the forces above and beneath the ocean surface that influence how sea ice moves and disperses in the Arctic Ocean, which is warming at over twice the rate of the global ave.....»»
Ship sets sail from England to retrace Charles Darwin"s voyage nearly 200 years later
A schooner set sail Tuesday from the south coast of England to train and inspire a new generation of naturalists by retracing the voyage taken by a young Charles Darwin nearly 200 years ago that led to his theory of evolution......»»
Key instability theory to reduce rock burst risks and enhance coal mine safety
Rock bursts, commonly associated with coal mining activities, involve the abrupt release of elastic energy from rock masses. Recognized as a major challenge in mining engineering and rock mechanics worldwide, they can lead to the destruction of under.....»»
A New Idea for How to Assemble Life
How would scientists even recognize biological signs of life beyond Earth? Assembly theory proposes a way to identify molecules made by living systems—even those using unfamiliar chemistries......»»
An algorithm that shapes objects to cause them to roll down ramps following a desired path
A team of physicists and mathematicians at the Institute for Basic Science's Center for Soft and Living Matter, in South Korea, working with a colleague from the University of Geneva, has developed an algorithm that can be used to find the shape of a.....»»
Is there new physics beyond the standard model of particle physics? Our finding will help settle the question
Despite its tremendous success in predicting the existence of new particles and forces, the standard model of particle physics, designed over 50 years ago to explain the smallest building blocks of nature, isn't the complete "theory of everything" ph.....»»
Zentropy and the art of creating new ferroelectric materials
Systems in the universe trend toward disorder, with only applied energy keeping the chaos at bay. The concept is called entropy, and examples can be found everywhere: ice melting, campfire burning, water boiling. Zentropy theory, however, adds anothe.....»»
Mathematics formula K-theory used to advance understanding of topological materials
Terry Loring, distinguished professor of mathematics and statistics, published and co-authored a new research piece involving his research on K-theory with the major advances in applications to critical problems in physics......»»

By measuring inflated helium nuclei, physicists have challenged our best understanding of the force that binds protons and neutrons......»»
Germany approves $11 billion TSMC chip factory
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has been working to expand its manufacturing footprint for quite some time, and now it has a major factory deal in Germany set in motion.TSMC plantTSMC is one of the largest semiconductor manufacturers on th.....»»
New technique measures structured light in a single shot
Structured light waves with spiral phase fronts carry orbital angular momentum (OAM), attributed to the rotational motion of photons. Recently, scientists have been using light waves with OAM, and these special "helical" light beams have become very.....»»
