The Earth illustration. Credit:NASA. Earth's inside Structure received new attention from scientists. A new study led by a College of Cambridge is the first to take a detailed picture of an unusual pocket of rock at the border layer with the Planet's core, some 3 thousand kilometers under the surface, giving new hope of understanding...
Mathematicians would like to know if equations concerning fluid circulation can break down or "explode" in certain circumstances. Credit: Quanta Magazine. For more than 250 years, mathematicians have been attempting to "blow up" a few of one of the most important formulas in physics. Those explain exactly how liquids circulate. If they are successful, they...
All over the world, farming methods have been established as a feature of topography, soil type, plant kind, yearly rainfall, and custom. This mosaic of six images from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Discharge and Representation Radiometer (ASTER) sensing unit on NASA's Terra satellite shows differences in field geometry and size in different parts of...
A 3-dimensional model of a natural killer cell (purple) with granules (yellow) attaching to a target cell (gray). A pseudo color scale shows differences in packing density of lipids on NK cell membrane, with warmer colors indicating higher density.

Information about a quantum state is split into three information contents (i.e., information gain, disturbance, and reversibility). Credit: Hong et al. Scientists at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have attempted to capture the interaction between different kinds of information that are essential while gathering quantum measurements, specifically information gain, disturbance, and reversibility. Their paper, released...
Many individuals believe that mathematics is a human invention. In this way of thinking, mathematics is like a language: it may define actual things on the planet. However, it does not "exist" outside the minds of the people who utilize it. However, the Pythagorean school of thought in ancient Greece held a different sight. Its...
A Q&A with two scientists aiming to overcome limitations in computing power and energy efficiency deliberately by designing brand-new microchips (CMOS silicon chips). A brief history of microelectronics and CMOS silicone chips Our laptop computers and smartphones are portable yet powerful due to silicon microelectronics, also known as integrated circuits or chips, the tiny minds behind...

Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals Mating Across Groups Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals Mating Across Groups seem to be a new scientific discovery. Proof that cross-continental Stone Age networking occasions powered human evolution increased in 2021. Homo Sapiens may not have eliminated Neanderthals A long-lasting argument that Homo sapiens originated...
Scientists at the UAB and the UniZar have detected a human peptide located in the brain that prevents the α-synuclein aggregates associated with Parkinson's disease and helps prevent their neurotoxicity. The research released in Nature Communications suggests that this may be one of the organism's natural systems to combat aggregation. The learning might help...
More than 200 million Africans need at least one assistive device. Credit: Lucian Coman/Shutterstock Certain goods and tools that can support individuals in daily life should be accessible to everyone. The World Health Organization (WHO), which has released a list of the most crucial of these devices, takes this position. It includes equipment like wheelchairs, braille...
