Scientists explore complex pattern of tipping points in the Atlantic’s current system
New mathematical modeling of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation — a system of ocean currents — shows greater complexity than previously thought. Researchers have revealed a hierarchy of irreversible ‘tipping points.’
Bioelectronic mesh capable of growing with cardiac tissues for comprehensive heart monitoring
A team of engineers has recently built a tissue-like bioelectronic mesh system integrated with an array of atom-thin graphene sensors that can simultaneously measure both the electrical signal and the physical movement of cells in lab-grown human cardi…
Researchers take major step toward developing next-generation solar cells
Engineers have discovered a new way to manufacture solar cells using perovskite semiconductors. It could lead to lower-cost, more efficient systems for powering homes, cars, boats and drones.
If faces look like demons, you could have this extraordinary condition
Imagine if every time you saw a face, it appeared distorted. Well, for those who have a very rare condition known as prosopometamorphopsia (PMO), which causes facial features to appear distorted, that is reality. A new study reports on a unique case of…
