Their research study was released in the journal Nature. In computer science, there is a virtual tool referred to as a Turing machine, established by Alan Turing as a means to...
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Nature and the environment are mutually dependent. Plant growth is absolutely depending on the environment; however, this is, consequently, firmly influenced by plants, such as in a woodland, which evaporates a great deal of water. To be able to make precise predictions regarding just how the living world may create, a substantial...

Mixed plastics are difficult to recycle, but a new process shows how it can be done.Credit: China Photos/Getty Mixtures of plastics, normally a headache to recycle, have been broken down into helpful, smaller chemical ingredients in one two-step process, reported in Science on 13th October. The plastics problem facing the globe is exacerbated by the difficulty...

The study was published in Nature Astronomy, and it details how simple microbes that fed on hydrogen and excreted methane were likely abundant on Mars approximately 3.7 billion years back....

A new robotic, boot-like exoskeleton utilizes wearable sensors to adapt to each individual that wears it, marking a considerable progression for robotics. The device, explained in a study released yesterday, helps address one of the major obstacles in developing systems that aid people to walk:...
It is only under the microscope that the similarity of its namesake becomes apparent: the plump, round physique and the short legs are reminiscent of those of a bear.

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Scientists have used Internet transmitting fiber-optic cables to overcome a long-standing geophysical difficulty: identifying where seismic sound in the ocean originates. Small vibrations of Earth called microseisms are ubiquitous. Yet, researchers have not had one way to pinpoint their sources in the ocean. An innovative use of telecom equipment has changed...
