Did Male and Female Dinosaurs Differ? A New Analytical Strategy is Helping Address the Inquiry

How can researchers tell if male and female dinosaurs, like the stegosaur, were different? Credit: Susannah Maidment et al. & Natural History Museum, London, CC BY In many animal varieties, males and also women vary. This is true for individuals and various other mammals. Along with numerous species of birds, fish, and reptiles. However, what concerning dinosaurs?...

Deep Knowing Poised to ‘Explode’ Famed Liquid Equations

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...

Self-Assembled Logic Circuits Made From Proteins

Researchers have developed self-assembled, protein-based circuits that can do simple logic functions in proof-of-concept research. The work demonstrates that it is possible to develop stable digital circuits that benefit from an electron's properties at quantum scales. Molecular circuits One of the stumbling blocks in developing molecular circuits is that the circuits become unreliable as the circuit...

A Computer Science Technique Might Assist Determine When The Pandemic is ‘Over’
