Scientists at TU Wien found that electrons need specific "doorway states" to escape solids, not just energy. The insight explains long-standing anomalies in experiments and unlocks new ways to engineer layered materials.
A collaboration between Brazilian and German researchers has led to a sunflower-based meat substitute that's high in protein and minerals. The new ingredient, made from refined sunflower flour, delivers excellent nutritional value and a mild flavor. ...
Researchers at MIT's Picower Institute found that rotating waves of brain activity help restore focus after distractions. In animal tests, these rotations predicted performance: full rotations meant full recovery, while incomplete ones led to errors. ...
Researchers have discovered a specific set of neurons in the amygdala that can trigger anxiety and social deficits when overactive. By restoring the excitability balance in this brain region, they successfully reversed these symptoms in mice. The ...
Using powerful 7-Tesla brain imaging, researchers mapped how the brainstem manages pain differently across the body. They discovered that distinct regions activate for facial versus limb pain, showing the brain's built-in precision pain control ...
Astronomers are rethinking one of cosmology's biggest mysteries: dark energy. New findings show that evolving dark energy models, tied to ultra-light axion particles, may better fit the universe's expansion history than Einstein's constant model. The ...
Long ago, some saltwater fish adapted to freshwater -- and in doing so, developed an extraordinary sense of hearing rivaling our own. By examining a 67-million-year-old fossil, researchers from UC Berkeley discovered that these "otophysan" fish didn ...
Researchers found that embodying a digital, childlike version of one's own face helps unlock vivid childhood memories. This illusion strengthens the connection between bodily self-perception and autobiographical recall. The findings suggest that ...
Okayama scientists have crafted a new wine grape, Muscat Shiragai, merging the wild Shiraga and Muscat of Alexandria. The variety is part of a larger collaboration between academia, industry, and local government to boost regional identity through .. ...
Physicists have uncovered how direct atom-atom interactions can amplify superradiance, the collective burst of light from atoms working in sync. By incorporating quantum entanglement into their models, they reveal that these interactions can enhance ...
