With a newly discovered mathematical tool, researchers are hoping to gain unprecedented insight into the structure of complex ...
The bacterial flagellar motor is finally understood after 50 years. In its workings, columnist Natalie Wolchover finds the ...
Some quantum cryptographers want to find ways to keep messages secret even if the rules of quantum mechanics don’t hold. The ...
Dozens of new discoveries reveal that defenses evolved by bacteria and viruses billions of years ago still define our own ...
Those changes will be contested, in math as in other academic disciplines wrestling with AI’s impact. As AI models become a ...
In theory, a universe can come in any shape or size, but scientists prefer to think about three basic kinds of universes: one that’s expanding, one that’s collapsing, and one that stays the same. Out ...
Astrid Eichhorn spends her days thinking about how the laws of physics change at the tiniest scales. Imagine zooming in closer and closer to the device on which you’re reading this article. Its ...
New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest that neuron-only brain models, such as connectomes, leave out a crucial ...
In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...
On a remote island in the Indian Ocean, six closely watched bats took to the star-draped skies. As they flew across the seven-acre speck of land, devices implanted in their brains pinged data back to ...
