For The Better

In baseball, even the smallest detail can tip the scales in favor of the batter or the pitcher. A recent publication has highlighted how rosin powder helps maintain a more constant friction when pitching, something that could bring about a fairer playi…

A clinical trial found that two first-line treatments for high blood pressure were equally effective.

For decades, the Hubble Space Telescope provided us with the most spectacular images of galaxies. This all changed when the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) launched and successfully completed commissioning. For astronomers, the universe is now reveal…

Black holes are surrounded by an invisible layer that swallows every bit of evidence about their past. Researchers are now using machine learning and supercomputers to reconstruct the growth histories of black holes.

A new study demonstrates a new, counterintuitive way to protect atomically-thin electronics — adding vibrations, to reduce vibrations. By squeezing a liquid-metal gallium droplet, graphene devices are painted with a protective coating of gallium-oxide…

Moving is considered stressful, but just how stressful is it? Researchers have developed an original method of investigation.

Researchers have built a tiny butterfly-shaped optical resonator to improve the sensitivity of ultrafast measurements of electron beam pulses. They found that the enhancement allows less intense electric fields to be used in material science experiment…

Researchers led by Osaka University report the development of INCIDER, a fluorescent sensor system that enables high-contrast microscopic imaging of temporal changes in cellular interactions mediated by the N-cadherin molecule. This sensor system, whic…
