Different neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), are characterized by highly distinct ...

Superfluids are intriguing states of matter in which particles behave like a giant collective wave, allowing them to flow without any friction. When this fluid flows past a fixed obstacle at a velocity below a specific threshold, ...

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are now widely used for various purposes, ranging from filmmaking and aerial photography to industrial inspection, precision farming and reaching obstructed areas ...

When humans are awake, they are typically aware of specific sounds, movements, objects and other stimuli in their surroundings. Most of these are stimuli that they can see, hear or perceive with any of their other senses.

The information exchanged by modern devices is typically protected by cryptographic techniques, approaches that convert readable data into scrambled, unreadable code that can only be deciphered by authorized parties or devices. ...

Neurons, specialized cells that transmit information across the nervous system, communicate with each other via projections known as axons. These microscopic, cable-like structures are also used to deliver proteins, signaling ...

The environment in which children grow up can play a central role in their mental development and psychological well-being. For instance, past studies have found that a family's socioeconomic status and the opportunities ...

When moving around in their surroundings, humans heavily rely on what is known as proprioception, sometimes referred to as the "sixth sense." This is the body's subconscious ability to sense its own position, movements and ...

Many animals exhibit fascinating collective behaviors, which allow them to move, search for food, reproduce and avoid threats more effectively than they would alone. One of these behaviors is queuing migration, which essentially ...

Chronic stress, the prolonged exposure to psychological and/or physical strain, is known to be a risk factor for depression, anxiety and some other psychiatric disorders. Past studies suggest that chronic stress disrupts ...

While humans are observing their surroundings, their eyes tend to rapidly shift between different objects, people and details that catch their attention, pausing briefly on each one. In psychology, prolonged pauses on specific ...

Physical pain is essential for survival, as it allows animals to detect when they are injured or unwell, seek shelter and address their ailments. Yet when it becomes chronic, pain can also become highly distressing and debilitating.

The ability to control the movement of negatively charged particles (i.e., electrons) is central to the functioning of all modern electronic devices. This control is typically attained using a gate, an electrode via which ...

When humans are planning their future actions and decisions, they typically imagine situations or issues they could encounter and predict how they would respond in these imagined scenarios. This imaginative process is highly ...

Quantum materials, materials with properties that are governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, have proved to be highly promising for the development of ultra-efficient electronic devices, quantum processors, highly precise ...
