Researchers discovered a technique of levitating a magnetic bar while it spins in a fluid. This insight could aid in the design of bidirectional fluidic pumps and artificial swimmers. Levitation is a method of suspending something in stable...
Human brain perceives sounds during sleep, but it’s unable to group these sounds in an appropriate sequence. Scientists used magnetoencephalography to prove that speech cannot be recognized during non-rapid and rapid eye movement sleep. The...
Researchers examined cancer treatment as a game played by the physician and tumor cells. The physician, as a leader in the game, can regularly monitor cancer responses during each treatment cycle. This approach combined with a mathematical model...
Scientists increased the flow of waste from the brain to lymph nodes in old mice’s neck. The vessels grew bigger and drained better, improving mice’s ability to remember and learn. The study will help develop drugs to enhance the...
Researchers used 4 qubits on a 20-qubit processor for simulating chemical bonds of molecular hydrogen and lithium hydride. This is the first-ever quantum simulation of energy bonds, performed on a system of trapped ions. Quantum simulator was...
New recurrent convolutional neural network can automatically map neurons in the brain. It provides 10 times more accurate results than previous automated techniques. The human brain contains more than 86 billion neurons, and a more or less equal...
Researchers used neutron diffraction line-scanning method to examine the residual stress in automotive parts. They used VULCAN instrument to investigate high-strength steel in different conditions. The demand of lightweight and stronger material...
Researchers develop a 3D model of human heart left ventricle to study disease and test drugs. To build this, they used gelatin fibers, biodegradable polyester and human cardiomyocytes or rat myocytes. The heart is examined at various scales in...
Scientists used special loudspeakers to control the sound wave at specific points in the tube maze. The technique can be used to control quantum matter waves and light waves. On a daily basis, we deal with different kinds of waves that are...
The new coating technique makes natural fabric water-repellent, and it works better than existing methods. The fabrics have passed repeated washing tests and harsh abrasion tests without any degradation and damage to the coating. Waterproof fabrics...
Scientists have identified 1,016 specific genes and 205 regions in DNA associated with intelligence. The study deepens our understanding of neurobiology of cognitive functions, and genetically linked psychiatric and neurological disorders. ...
Stimulation of prefrontal cortex has the potential to reduce a person’s intent to commit physical and sexual assault. Researchers conducted an experiment, in which they discovered people’s intentions to carry out violent acts were...
