We often assume our highest thoughts and feelings come from the brain's wrinkled outer layer. However, researchers suggest the raw feeling of being alive actually stems from a much older, deeper structure. This idea changes how we view the biology of self-awareness.
Researchers have discovered a highly efficient way to flip magnetic memory using a new bismuth-antimony material. This low-power computing advance could eventually pave the way for a new generation of hyper-efficient data storage and spintronic devices.
Decaying underwater munitions are leaking toxic explosives into our oceans. This study reveals that rising water temperatures combined with chemical exposure severely stresses marine life, creating a dual threat to coastal ecosystems.
Scientists discovered that standard methods used to apply protective coatings inside solid-state batteries can actually destroy their internal structure. By identifying gentler manufacturing techniques, engineers can now build flawless battery components. This provides crucial guidance for optimising future energy storage.
Scientists compared the diets of larval fish in 1987 and 2022 to see how they cope with warming oceans. They found that these young fish have switched to a different, more abundant food source. This dietary flexibility suggests some ocean predators might adapt better to climate change than previously thought.
Scientists are tracking the flow of energy and nutrients to monitor how environments recover from severe damage. This data-driven approach helps conservationists build predictive models to restore natural habitats more efficiently.
Scientists have transformed a natural plant parasite into a delivery vehicle for CRISPR technology. By optimising how they infect and regrow pea cells, researchers can now efficiently edit the notoriously stubborn pea genome.
Researchers have developed a precise microfluidic method to create highly uniform toroidal photonic microobjects. By controlling droplet composition on a porous surface, they can dictate structural colours and fluorescence, suggesting new ways to manufacture advanced pigments.
This review evaluates different quantum algorithms to determine which is best suited for assessing phase transitions in physics. Rather than finding a single superior method, the evidence suggests researchers need a mixed portfolio of techniques.
Periodate is a powerful chemical used to clean water and make medicines. To use it safely and efficiently, scientists need precise ways to measure it. This review outlines new sensor technologies that detect periodate levels instantly.
Scientists have mapped the complete mitochondrial DNA of a unique insect for the first time. By tracking how its genes have shuffled over time, researchers are refining next-generation sequencing tools that will eventually help us untangle the complex evolutionary trees of life on Earth.
Researchers have linked specific weather patterns to the physical health of a major estuary. By measuring how air masses alter water temperature and movement, the study suggests a new predictive model to monitor environmental threats.
