Did you know that monkeys might see the world differently when it comes to counting? Scientists found out something fascinating. They showed monkeys two sets of objects—one where the items are connected, and one where they are not. Humans often underestimate the number of items when they're connecte
Scientists have discovered something fascinating called dissipative time crystals. These aren’t any ordinary crystals; they’re more like patterns that repeat over time. They’re special because they appear when certain conditions are met in collective spin systems. These systems are like small magnet
Scientists are always looking for ways to make solar cells better, especially for buildings. Current ultra-narrow bandgap solar cells have issues like high energy levels and poor performance. One team has come up with a new idea: use benzothiazole-fused cyanoindone (BTC) as a key part of the solar c
Let's dive into the world of particle physics with TESLA, a powerful electron-positron linear collider. This advanced machine is designed to operate at energies ranging from 500 to 800 GeV. But what does this mean for physics? Well, these energy levels allow scientists to probe deeper into the build
Imagine a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) helps scientists understand aging better than ever before. This field isn't short on data—it's overflowing with it! And that's where AI comes in. Tools like Large Language Models (LLMs) can evaluate geroprotective interventions, those designed to pr
One of the first steps in figuring out the structure and properties of a material based on its chemical composition is creating likely crystal structures. However, current methods for predicting crystal structures are usually time-consuming and expensive, which can slow down scientific progress. To
Have you ever thought about the tiny passengers that might be hitching a ride on beetles? Scientists have just discovered seven new species of mites that do exactly that. These little travelers have some interesting preferences. In Brazil, you can find two types: S. incisus and S. spinisetus. Over i
Antimony, a heavy metal, affects the swimming speed of Pelophylax nigromaculatus tadpoles. Researchers found that when these critters are exposed to antimony in two different ways—either in short bursts (pulse exposure) or continuously (constant exposure) for 28 days—they swim significantly slower.
When it comes to treating water filled with harmful pollutants, there are a few methods that have been around for a while and some newer ones that are gaining attention. Two of the older methods are burning the waste, known as incineration, and using a process called Sequencing Batch Reactor Activat
Ever heard of the six-spotted spider mite? This tiny critter, known scientifically as Eotetranychus sexmaculatus, is making waves in the world of science. Recently, researchers have been diving deep into its appearance and DNA to better understand it. One thing they've figured out is that Eotetranyc
