Meet the Optomagnetic Micromirror Arrays (OMA), a unique tool designed to figure out how stiff biomimetic materials are, even on a tiny, cellular level. Picture this: a 5. 1 by 7. 2 millimeter field filled with 50, 000 teeny-tiny magnetic mirrors, each with optical grating structures and coated with
Some people think that making preregistration a rule is the way to go to fix the replication crisis in psychology. But I and others believe this isn't the best solution. Instead, let's focus on three key areas to create strong and long-lasting psychological research. First, we need to know how to c
For over half a century, people all around the globe have spotted strange lights and other peculiar things in the sky that scientists can't explain. These are known as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). One hotspot for these sightings is Hessdalen, Norway, where scientists have been observing thes
Epilepsy is a brain condition that causes unusual electrical activity, often leading to seizures. These seizures start in a specific area of the brain, known as the epileptogenic focus.

Sixty years ago, the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) started as a small group aiming to connect scientists in Europe. Today, it's a global force with over 30, 000 members across 39 societies. To celebrate its 60th anniversary, FEBS Letters held a writing contest asking participan
Imagine if you could juice up your phone while drinking water at the same time. Scientists have come up with two materials, CP1 and CP2, made from lead. CP2 is super speedy in moving electrons, which makes energy production quicker and eco-friendlier. While both materials look promising, CP2 could b
