By analyzing the data from the DESI Legacy Imaging Survey, Chinese astronomers have investigated a globular cluster known as NGC 5634. Results of the new study, published June 5 on the arXiv pre-print server, provide more ...
As the number of particles in a physical system increases, its properties can change and different phase transitions (i.e., shifts into different phases of matter) can take place. Microscopic systems (i.e., containing only ...
Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how cells responsible for hair growth perceive physical forces in their environment and utilize that information to regulate their growth, according to a study published in ...
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed an innovative new technique using carbon nanofibers to enhance binding in carbon fiber and other fiber-reinforced polymer ...
When featuring models with disabilities in advertising, brands walk a fine line—how should they convey a message of inclusivity without coming across as exploitative and insensitive? The underrepresentation of people with ...
When you think of dinosaurs, you might imagine towering predators or gentle giants roaming prehistoric landscapes. But what if these ancient creatures could teach us about one of humanity's most persistent challenges: cancer?
Using the world's largest solar telescope, a team of scientists has captured one of the most detailed views ever of a microflare—a small yet powerful solar explosion. The images are helping scientists understand the complexity ...
Thalidomide, a drug once used to alleviate morning sickness in pregnant women, exhibits distinct properties due to its optical isomers in the body: one isomer has a sedative effect, while the other causes severe side effects ...
Engineers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have introduced a universal framework for point spread function (PSF) engineering, enabling the synthesis of arbitrary, spatially varying 3D PSFs using diffractive optical ...
In the world of particle physics, where scientists unravel the mysteries of the universe, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are making waves with how they're increasing understanding of the most fundamental ...
