Why 'no signal' appears in towns as well as the countryside – and what could help

According to a RAC survey more than 4,500 miles of roads in Britain are out of range of any mobile phone network, while 14,500 miles lack any high-speed 3G coverage. In a rich developed country like the UK mobile phone coverage ...

Shaping contraction

You were once a hollow shell. To sculpt that hollow ball into an organism with layers of internal organs, muscle and skin, portions of that embryonic 'shell' folded inwards. The same happens to fruit fly embryos, and researchers ...

Contact, connect and fuse: An ultra-structural view of the muscle formation process

For an avid exerciser, a muscle pull or tear is a painful and fairly common occurrence. A sudden turn or an unusually vigorous bout of aerobics can leave one with a muscle tear that will effectively confine a person to bed ...

Âé¶¹ÒùÔºicists prove 'quantum spookiness' and start chasing Schrodinger's cat

The world of quantum mechanics is weird. Objects that are far apart can influence each other in what Albert Einstein called "spooky action at a distance", and cats can potentially be dead and alive at the same time. For decades, ...
