Researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging to see how dogs understand human words. They showed that dogs can differentiate between words they have heard before and those they haven’t. What does human word mean to dogs? How do they...
Researchers used electronic ripples to analyze phase changes in materials. They found that laser-induced phase change unfolds very differently. It produces several topological defects that affect electrons’ dynamics and lattice atoms in the...
New AI-based tool can automatically search and focus on individual molecules within living cells. It is 10 times faster than other techniques and can be implemented with high-magnification microscopy. Analyzing cell signaling and other molecular...
Researchers determine the number of cancer cells that trigger the spread of tumor in different body parts. They found that many common metastatic tumors can be triggered by a range of hundreds to thousands of colonizing tumor cells. According to...
New cold-atom vacuum standard can accurately measure low-pressure levels. Researchers are currently testing individual modules and a working prototype will be available soon. It will be the first absolute sensor to operate in ultrahigh and extreme...
Researchers spotted 14 new uranium hydrides that have superconducting properties. UH7 is the highest-temperature superconductor that shows superconducting features at -219° C. The temperature can be raised to even more levels via doping. Uranium...
Researchers used an X-ray laser to examine how a plasma produced by high-intensity laser expands in a few femtoseconds after it is formed. The method can be used to study fusion energy, high-energy cosmic rays, and novel particle accelerators. If...
A new technique can accurately control the therapeutic protein production once the RNA (Ribonucleic acid) is delivered into cells. This new RNA circuit is built on synthetic biology principles. It will allow doctors to accurately handle patient...
Researchers grew human retinas from scratch to find out how cells that enable us to see in color are developed. The study explains why some people suffer from vision disorders. It could lead to the development of treatments for diseases like macular...
2018 Nobel Prize in physics goes to three scientists for their remarkable work in laser physics. They discovered optical tweezers and ultrashort, high-intensity optical pulses. Today, it’s used to measure phenomena in femtosecond timescales...
Researchers demonstrate that sound waves can travel in a thin sheet of bosons of rubidium atoms, even in extremely low density where atoms do not collide with each other. They performed numerical simulations to prove this phenomenon. Usually...
Scientists discover 3 subclasses of Type I neurons and the Type II neurons. They conducted comparative studies on adult mice to show that these neuron types are present since birth. It can open new doors for developing genetic tools, which can be...
