A new sensor that allows neuroscientists to image brain activity without missing signals, for an extended time and deeper in the brain than previously possible.
Researchers used circularly polarized laser light to systematically probe the phase transition in which a topological insulator (TI) loses its quantum properties and becomes an ordinary insulator. The spiraling laser light generated harmonics — much l…

T cells are our immune system’s customised tools for fighting infectious diseases and tumor cells. On their surface, these special white blood cells carry a receptor that recognizes antigens. With the help of cryo-electron microscopy, biochemists and s…

A team of researchers has developed a new class of biomaterial inks that mimic native characteristics of highly conductive human tissue, much like skin, which are essential for the ink to be used in 3D printing.

Are wildlife populations in Sweden increasing or decreasing? It is difficult to count wild animals, but the amount harvested through hunting gives an indication. Now, these statistics can be made clearer and more useful, thanks to a new model developed…

The unique oscillations in binary neutron stars right before they merge could have big implications for the insights scientists can glean from gravitational wave detection.
Fresh evidence that water can change from one form of liquid into another, denser liquid, has been uncovered.
Many therapeutics for asthma and other obstructive lung diseases target a certain G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that rapidly supports airway relaxation when stimulated. Yet, overuse of these agents is associated with adverse health outcomes, includ…
Oceans have their own unique soundscape. Many marine organisms, for example, use sound for echolocation, navigation or communication with conspecifics. In recent decades, however, more and more sounds caused by human activities are permeating the water…

A newly-discovered walking shark that breaks all of the rules for survival is the focus of a new study that examined differences in walking and swimming in neonate (newly-hatched) and juvenile walking sharks. Despite dissimilarities in body shapes — n…
Researchers report an experimental demonstration of a space-to-ground quantum key distribution (QKD) network using a compact QKD terminal aboard the Chinese Space Lab Tiangong-2 and four ground stations. The demonstration represents an important step t…
