Calculations provide a glimpse inside carbon nuclei, revealing the presence of three clusters resembling helium nuclei
New research published in Current Biology on September 13 demonstrates the importance of carrying crying infants rather than simply holding them.
Using half-sized eggs provides an avenue for childbearing in mice
Researchers explore how terahertz waves, which are finding use in an expanding range of practical applications, interact with lenses with bull’s-eye patterns
An international team led by researchers at the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research (CPR) has engineered a system for creating remote controlled cyborg cockroaches, equipped with a tiny wireless control module that is powered by a rechargeable battery attached to a solar cell.
Researchers from RIKEN in Japan have achieved a major step toward large-scale quantum computing by demonstrating error correction in a three-qubit silicon-based quantum computing system.
Ethanol can help plants survive in times of drought says a new study conducted at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science in Japan.
A new antiviral compound designed and synthesized by researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s School of Pharmacy is highly effective in mice against two types of devastating encephalitis viruses that are harmful to humans.
Wataru Kimura and colleagues at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan have discovered how the hearts of newborn marsupials retain the ability to regenerate for several weeks.
Beesiiwo cooowuse was a squat, herbivorous relative of modern crocodiles and birds that had a beak-like mouth and roamed the globe between 250 and 227 million years ago. Its name, pronounced “Bah-se-wa’ ja’ aw-wu sa,'” speaks to the modern-day location where its fossilized remains were unearthed: “big lizard from the Alcova area” of central Wyoming.

Speed limits for quantum phenomena have been extended to macro-sized objects
Engineers designed a tool that enables faster measurements of the condition of some nuclear reactor components, potentially extending their lifetimes.
An unexpected ancient manufacturing strategy may hold the key to designing concrete that lasts for millennia.
Prochlorococcus, the world’s most abundant photosynthetic organism, reveals a gene-transfer mechanism that may be key to its abundance and diversity.
But the harm from a discriminatory AI system can be minimized if the advice it delivers is properly framed, an MIT team has shown.
Fortifying foods with new polymer particles containing vitamin A could promote better vision and health for millions of people.
Contrary to what one might expect, air quality did not improve during mild covid-19 lockdowns in all cities. In fact, the emission of harmful gasses from transport has in some places increased, even during stringent covid-19 lockdowns, research from the University of Copenhagen shows.
