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......»»
Math unlocks molecular interactions that open window to how life evolved
A "window to evolution" has opened after mathematicians uncovered the universal explanatory framework for how molecules interact with one another to adapt to new and variable conditions while maintaining tight control over key survival properties......»»
Mixing theory and observation to envision a warmer world
Climate changes are conjuring a whirlwind ride that seems to present some creatures opportunities to thrive. Scientists scripting supercharged scenarios caution the difference between seasonal coping and long-term adaption is vast—and tricky to pre.....»»
New motion blur restoration approach for improved weed detection in crop fields
Effective weed control is crucial in agriculture to ensure high crop productivity. It entails the careful separation of weeds from crops before herbicides are sprayed in the fields. In simple terms, the goal of weed control is to remove the weeds whi.....»»
A general theory to realize bilayer stacking ferroelectricity
Two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectrics, planar materials that have a spontaneous and reversible electric polarization, are extremely rare and yet could be extremely advantageous for the development of new nanoelectronics. Due to their ferroelectric prop.....»»
Quantum Physics Falls Apart without Imaginary Numbers
Imaginary numbers—the square roots of negative numbers—are an inescapable part of quantum theory, a study shows.....»»
Plagues, poisons and magical thinking: How COVID lab leak hysteria could be straight from the Middle Ages
The COVID "lab leak" story clearly isn't going away soon. The theory that the pandemic began with an accidental release of the virus from a lab in Wuhan recurs like clockwork—most recently in a report from Senate Republicans in the US this week......»»
The first light in the universe helps build a dark matter map
In the 1960s, astronomers began noticing a pervasive microwave background visible in all directions. Thereafter known as the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the existence of this relic radiation confirmed the Big Bang theory, which posits that all.....»»
This is the ultimate, no BS ChatGPT cheat sheet for UX and UI designers
AI won’t replace designers, but designers who use AI will replace those who don’t. Similar to how calculators were once thought to replace mathematicians, many fear that AI will replace designers. However, this is a misconception. Just.....»»

If it weren’t for Star-Lord’s fury, the Avengers might have defeated Thanos (Josh Brolin) in Infinity War, preventing the Blip. That’s a popular theory about … The post Star-Lord fesses up to Infinity War mistake in hilarious.....»»
A particular "sandwich" of graphene and boron nitride may lead to next-gen microelectronics
Moiré patterns occur everywhere. They are created by layering two similar but not identical geometric designs. A common example is the pattern that sometimes emerges when viewing a chain-link fence through a second chain-link fence......»»
Study proves compatibility of two fundamental principles of quantum theory
Quantum theory, which was formulated in the first three decades of the twentieth century, describes a wide array of phenomena at the molecular, atomic and subatomic scales. Among its many technological applications, three have become ubiquitous in da.....»»

Upending a decades-long theory of reverse osmosis water desalination
The process of reverse osmosis has proven to be the state-of-the-art method for removing salt from seawater and increasing access to clean water. Other applications include wastewater treatment and energy production......»»
NASA satellite"s elusive green lasers spotted at work
The green light streaking across the cloudy sky was something that Daichi Fujii had never seen before. The museum curator's motion-detecting cameras were set up near Japan's Mount Fuji to capture meteors, allowing him to calculate their position, bri.....»»
Physicists lead experiments to explore the force that binds the universe
The universe began about 14 billion years ago with a single point that contained a vast array of fundamental particles, according to the prevailing theory known as the Big Bang. Under the pressure of extreme heat and energy, the point inflated and th.....»»

Natural selection among neural progenitor cells controls mammalian brain size
In nature, competition for survival among organisms or species is a fundamental evolutionary force, as described by Darwin's theory of natural selection. Similarly, in multicellular organisms, competitive interactions also occur between cells, creati.....»»
Researchers defend their theory that molecular oxygen existed on Earth 2.5 billion years ago
When did molecular oxygen, the gas that all large and complex forms of life on Earth today require to function, first appear on Earth?.....»»
