A self-propelled nanoparticle engineered through computer simulation could bring laboratory-grade cancer detection to ...

Researchers have built a small-scale computer that runs on thermal noise, the random electrical fluctuations that conventional chip designers spend billions trying to suppress. The device, called a ...

Astronomers have discovered a flattened structure of matter around the Milky Way that explains the unusual motion of nearby galaxies.

The use of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in power converters represents the latest development in ...

Researchers have discovered a rotational motion that plays a critical role in the ability of breast cells to form the spherical structures in the mammary gland known as acini. This rotation, called ...

In this simulation, 66 of the 100 needles crossed a line (you can count ’em). Using this number, we get a value of pi at 3.0303—which is not 3.14—but it's not terrible for just 100 needles. With ...

The organs of the vestibular, auditory and lateral line systems rely on a common strategy for the stimulation of their primary receptors, the hair cells: stimuli induce shear between hair cell ...

Curious Kids is a series for children of all ages. If you have a question you’d like an expert to answer, send it to ...

When two stationary visual objects appear in alternating sequence, they evoke the perception of a single object moving back and forth between them. This is known as stroboscopic or apparent motion and ...

Your research proposal also needs to persuade someone about how and why your intended project is worthwhile. In your proposal you will need to explain and defend your choices. Always think about the ...
