Scientists have found the secret to felines' finesse at sniffing out food, friends and foes. A complex collection of tightly coiled bony airway structures gets the credit, according to the first detailed analysis of the domestic cat's nasal airway......»»
Chemists develop new method to create chiral structures
Some molecules exist in two forms, such that their structures and their mirror images are not superimposable, like our left and right hands. Called chirality, it is a property these molecules have due to their asymmetry. Chiral molecules tend to be o.....»»
Turning A Truck Into A Giant Dot Matrix Printer
When Ryder set his mind to creating a massive dot matrix printer, he also decided that it would be awesome to drive it. Now he has a truck that can write on the road as it drives. The idea here is relatively simple. A bit of water on the road create.....»»
Webb identifies the earliest strands of the cosmic web
Galaxies are not scattered randomly across the universe. They gather together not only into clusters, but into vast interconnected filamentary structures with gigantic barren voids in between. This "cosmic web" started out tenuous and became more dis.....»»
