Phys.org / Exceptionally early heat wave shatters records and brings deaths in Europe
The U.K. smashed a century-old temperature record for the second time in 24 hours on Tuesday as a spring heat wave continued to scorch parts of Western Europe, triggering government warnings about risks to life. Several drownings ...
Medical Xpress / How the sleeping brain simulates the world during REM sleep
In his wildest dreams, HHMI Investigator Massimo Scanziani never imagined he'd study sleep. But, when a postdoc in the lab suggested studying eye movements in sleeping animals, Scanziani's curiosity was awakened.
Phys.org / Who's missing? Why underrepresentation often goes unnoticed in the workplace and classroom
During a staff meeting, we may look around to take account of who is present—an observation that could consider the race or gender of who is in the room. But would everyone notice a complete absence of women, colleagues of ...
Phys.org / Tuning into quantum sounds: Acoustic devices simplify quantum sensors
When a singer belts out a tune while a guitar player strums along, sound waves travel through the air, driving collective oscillations of the molecules within. Meanwhile, at the quantum level, something similar is going on. ...
Phys.org / Four decades of overlooked data reveal the hidden amphipod diversity of Italian seas
What if some of the most important clues about marine biodiversity were already collected but never fully shared? That's the question that motivated a study, published in Biodiversity Data Journal. It brought together over ...
