So far, we have known that the learning process in the brain is driven by synapses. Now researchers demonstrated that learning occurs in various long ramified arms, known as dendrites. . Dendritic learning occurs at quite faster rate than...
Scientists created Bose-Einstein condensate and configured it into a quick-expanding ring. This ring of ultracold atom exhibits features that resemble characteristics of an expanding universe. One can use it as a laboratory test bed for...
A new type of electron microscope can capture how nanoparticles transform in real time. It provides dynamic, high-resolution, multi-frame videos of nanoparticles as they evolve. This could change how scientists design paints, lubricants, coating and...
A new algorithm can discovery thermoelectric materials by solving quantum mechanical equations. It works by predicting material’s electronic transport properties. Using this method, experimentalists discovered a material that was both stable...
Diamonds can be bent, stretched and reformed to its original shape, if grown in tiny needle-like shapes. It could be stretched by as much as 9% without breaking. These results could open the new possibilities for diamond-based equipments. Diamond...
Researchers have discovered an interesting way to create and remove magnets in an alloy of iron and aluminum. They’ve used laser pulses of 100 femtoseconds to switch the ferromagnetic ordering reversibly. This could have a wide range of...
Scientists discover how to eliminate the primary genetic risk factor of Alzheimer’s disease – Apolipoprotein E. They examined the effect of apolipoprotein E on human brain cells for the first time. To fix this faulty gene, they...
Physicists collide lead ions to create a Quark-Gluon Plasma at the Large Hadron Collider. The collision creates high-energy partons, which further split into two or more partons. It gives new insights of color coherence and other properties of...
In an experiment, physicists created a 3D skyrmion – a theoretical quasiparticle. They used experimental approaches originally designed for creating topological defects. The outcomes could inspire new methods to keep plasma intact in fusion...
BioLumic has built a new system by integrating UV photobiology and engineering into UV treatment that increases crop yield. It also improves pest and disease resistance, and refines color and flavor profiles. A New Zealand-based startup named...
Physicists have developed a new form of photonics matter by sticking three photons together under certain conditions. The bound-photons have a fraction of mass of electron and move about 100,000 times slower than usual non-interacting photons. We...
For the first time, ALMA observed a gas torus rotating around a central supermassive black hole of M77 galaxy. The compact gaseous structure is 40 light-years (380 trillion kilometers) wide in diameters. Almost all galaxies in the universe contain...
