A Clever Workaround For Uniform Currents In Cell Cultures
Lab cultureware like petri dishes are circular, but the electric fields in them are not; researchers have now managed to get around this problem.
Researchers Find Link Between Disorder And Metastability
Using photo-elastic disks, researchers have shown that it is possible to detect and quantify metastability induced by disorder in a granular material.
Rubber Plantations Contribute To Reduced Ant Biodiversity
At a rubber plantation in China, researchers not only found a striking decrease in the number of ant species, but also in the ants’ functional and phylogenetic diversity.
Faced With A Crossroads, Water Forms A Spiral Vortex
When two flows of water meet within a cross-shaped device, they behave in an intriguing way.
How Ant Queens Are Crowned
Teasing out the relationships between certain sets of genes may help to explain why some ants become workers and others become queens.
Researchers Create Larger Than Life Synapse
Giant synapses make it easier for scientists to observe events happening within and it last longer than fresh brain slices.
Researchers Discover Rare Proton Pattern In Ice
Water and ice cover most of our planet, but we know very little about them. Now, however, we have a better understanding of how atoms behave in ice.
Researchers Discover Metabolites Related To Aging
These compounds, related to muscle strength and declining organ function, shed light on how the body ages.
