A fascination with fish gills has led researchers at Cornell to develop a bio-inspired approach to mixing heat and molecules ...

To do that, they need to understand quantum behavior, something that can’t always be done using classical computing methods.

Researchers led by Davide Incarnato at the University of Groningen have demonstrated that the FDA-approved cancer drug ...

Rub two identical pieces of glass together and something strange happens. One picks up a positive charge. The other goes ...

This familiar phenomenon has puzzled researchers for centuries, but experiments are finally making sense of its unruly ...

Static electricity is so commonplace that it can come across as simple. Other teams are investigating how surface area and velocity during impact might govern charge transfer, and how the breaking ...

We present a framework in which gravitation, inertia, and wave dynamics emerge from the response of a vacuum endowed with ...

Physicists have developed a new theoretical framework which unifies a wide array of seemingly unrelated "Mpemba effects": ...

Static electricity may seem simple. Students often learn that rubbing a balloon against their hair will cause negatively ...

What if a technology could reanimate parts of the body that have lost their connection to the brain—like a bladder that can ...

As the electricity market is progressively liberalized, virtual bidding has emerged as a novel participation mechanism attracting increasing attention. This paper integrates evolutionary game theory ...

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) play important roles in a variety of developmental processes in mammals. The dependence of their activity on heparin binding has been a puzzle that, in recent years, ...
