A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

An ultrathin ferroelectric capacitor, designed by researchers from Japan, demonstrates strong electric polarization despite ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Look at almost any circuit, and it’s near certain that there will be a capacitor included in it. These two-terminal electrical components rank alongside resistors and inductors as among the most ...

Drugs to treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases - such as asthma, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis or Chrousos syndrome - act mainly through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). This essential protein ...

In his laboratory at the University of Poitiers in France, Abderrazak El Albani contemplates the rock glittering in his hands. To the untrained eye, the specimen resembles a piece of golden tortellini ...

Weaver ants’ feet have an incredibly strong grip—individual members of one species can, without slipping, hold an entire dead bird hanging off the edge of a table. And the mighty insects rarely work ...

Unlock the fascinating world of geometry as we explore every complex shape explained in clear, simple terms. From polygons and polyhedra to spirals, fractals, and impossible-looking structures, this ...

Astronomers have detected signs of complex organic molecules, the precursors to the building blocks of life as we know it, in a planet-forming disk around a distant star. The findings imply that the ...
