Scroll through YouTube and you’ll notice that almost every miniature face shows pain or ecstasy. Things are either great or terrible, and anyone seeking the middle … Read more
Scientists have investigated how honey bees build symmetrical nests, linking the process to the way mirrored patterns are formed in biology, such as human faces and bodies. Images of honey bee combs, arranged so that the symmetry between the two sides of the comb is visible. Credit: Images Smith Bee Lab, arrangement by Peter R. … Read more

If these past few episodes of The penguin have proven something, it’s easier said than done to rage against the powers that be – especially those who … Read more
The brain is a marvel of efficiency, honed by thousands of years of evolution so it can adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world. But despite decades of research, the mystery of how the brain achieves this has remained elusive. Our new research, published in the journal Cellreveals how neurons – the cells responsible … Read more
Earlier this year, experiments disrupted expectations by pushing the boundaries of what classical computers were thought capable of. Old-school binary technology not only solved a problem considered unique to quantum processing, but also performed better at it. Now physicists at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics at the Flatiron Institute in the US have an … Read more
Every day, invisible to the human eye, thousands of mysterious flashes of cosmic energy known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) erupt in the sky, releasing as much energy in milliseconds as the sun does in a day. Due to their ephemeral nature, scientists often had to rely on luck to make observations FRBslet alone determine … Read more
In space, the gravity of massive objects is irresistible to smaller ones. Moons are locked in orbit around planets. Planets, asteroids and comets orbit more massive stars, and stars gather around supermassive black holes to form galaxies. Large galaxies, such as the Milky Wayattract smaller galaxies. The cosmic neighborhood of our solar system spans 100,000 … Read more
For a long time it was assumed that between 5 and 6% of children have ADHD. But in practice, the rates are often higher. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the prevalence in children to be 11.4% in 2022. The Swedish Board of Health and Welfare reports that in 2022, 10.5% of … Read more
How do you keep a glass of beer cold for the longest time? By using science, of course. At least that’s what one researcher has focused on: he’s found the optimal barrel shape that will keep a poured beer chilled for as long as possible while you drink it. Claudio Pellegrini, professor of thermal and … Read more
