Credit: Tech Explorist For the first time, researchers from the Structured Light Laboratory (School of Physics) at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, led by Professor Andrew Forbes, collaborated with string theorist Robert de Mello Koch from Huzhou University in China (formerly from Wits University). They demonstrated the remarkable feat of perturbing pairs...
A new study has provided the first direct evidence to explain the function of sleepDepositphotos Scientists have integrated physics and biology in a study that offers the initial direct evidence elucidating the purpose of sleep. By likening the brain to a biological computer depleted of resources during wakefulness, they showed that sleep acts as a...
Credit: IIAS IIASA scientists have pioneered a new approach to restore fertility and education data, specifically in developing nations facing erratic or uncertain data sets. Accurate and consistent data is crucial for policymakers to assess how women's education influences fertility rates, especially during times of educational growth and declining fertility, a prevalent trend globally. Evaluating Education's...
