Phys.org / Scientists discover a simple set of rules that may explain how the body's tissues stay organized
Every day, your body replaces billions of cells—and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible?
Phys.org / Fish species evolved different hunting strategies using distinct visual cues
Researchers have described how fish larvae rely on species-specific combinations of vision and movement to detect and capture prey.
Phys.org / Sharper gravitational-wave analysis promises clearer insights into black hole collisions
A new method to analyze gravitational-wave data could transform how we study some of the universe's most extreme events—black holes smashing into each other.
Phys.org / New research challenges animal dietary classifications in Yellowstone National Park
Scholars and schoolchildren alike have generally classified animals by the foods they eat: carnivores eat meat; browsers consume flowering plants, conifers and shrubs; and grazers focus on grasses.
Phys.org / Scientists detect new 'quantum echo' in superconducting materials
Scientists at the U. S. Department of Energy Ames National Laboratory and Iowa State University have discovered an unexpected "quantum echo" in a superconducting material. This discovery provides insight into quantum behaviors ...
Medical Xpress / Smartphone sensors reveal mental health patterns through daily behavior tracking
Smartphones can help people stay healthy by monitoring their sleep, steps and heart rate, but they also can help reveal issues tied to mental health, new research shows.
Phys.org / New four-element semiconductor alloy promises advances in chip technology
Researchers at the Jülich Research Center and the Leibniz Institute for Innovative Microelectronics (IHP) have developed a material that has never existed before: a stable alloy of carbon, silicon, germanium, and tin. The ...
Phys.org / Ultra-hot Jupiter's death spiral could reveal stellar secrets
Macquarie University astronomers have tracked an extreme planet's orbital decay, confirming it is spiraling toward its star in a cosmic death dance that could end in three possible ways.
Phys.org / Astronomers use simulations to reconstruct three-star ejection from R136 cluster
Astronomers led by Simon Portegies Zwart used simulations to reconstruct how three stars were ejected from the star cluster R136, 60,000 years ago. The analysis, published in Physical Review Letters, reveals that five stars ...
Phys.org / Research shows path toward protocells on Saturn's moon Titan
NASA research has shown that cell-like compartments called vesicles could form naturally in the lakes of Saturn's moon Titan.
Phys.org / Severe weather in tropical storm's wake triggers North Carolina state of emergency
North Carolina can seek federal funding to help its overloaded response efforts to Tropical Storm Chantal, which killed at least six people and left damage from flooding in its wake, as Gov. Josh Stein announced a state of ...
Phys.org / Inverse relationship between solar corona brightness and velocity of coronal mass ejections discovered
U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) detailed an inverse relationship between the brightness of the solar corona and the velocity of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in a paper published in The Astrophysical Journal on July ...
