Boiled bubbles jump to carry more heat
The topic of water and the way it can move producing water droplets that leap — propelled by surface tension — and frost that jumps — by way of electrostatics — is a central focus of a group of scientists. Having incorporated the two phases of liqu…
In hotter regions, mammals seek forests, avoid human habitats
As the climate warms, preserving forest cover will be increasingly important for wildlife conservation, finds a study of North American mammals.
Leukemia cells activate cellular recycling program
To speed up their growth, leukemia cells typically activate the recycling of cellular structures — enabling them to dispose of defective components and better supply themselves with building materials. Researchers have now shown that leukemia cells wi…
Optical data storage breakthrough
Physicists have developed a technique with the potential to enhance optical data storage capacity in diamonds. This is possible by multiplexing the storage in the spectral domain.
