When plant roots learned to follow gravity
Scentists have identified crucial components and processes which only developed in seed plants around 350 million years ago to enable fast and efficient gravity-driven...
How do molecules rotate in solvents?
Feynman diagrams are a powerful tool in condensed matter physics. By turning highly complex equations into sets of simple diagrams, the method has established...
For ants, unity is strength and health
It is assumed that social life can lead to the rapid spread of infectious diseases and outbreaks. In ants, disease outbreaks are rare and...
Scientists identified genes responsible for difference in flower color of snapdragons
Snapdragon flowers grown in tall spikes with double-sided, round petals. One of the more interesting snapdragon flower facts that a lot of people don’t...
Color effects from transparent 3D-printed nanostructures
The greater part of the articles we see are shaded by colors, yet utilizing shades has drawbacks: such colors can fade, modern colors are...
New interactive machine learning tool makes car designs more aerodynamic
When engineers or designers want to test the aerodynamic properties of the newly designed shape of a car, airplane, or other objects, they would...
Recognizing others but not yourself: new insights into the evolution of plant mating
Self-fertilization is an issue, as it prompts inbreeding. Recognition systems that anticipate self-treatment have advanced to guarantee that a plant mates just with a...
Cells change tension to make tissue barriers easier to get through
Like modest building blocks, billions of cells form our bodies. In any case, not at all like building obstructs, a few cells can move...
Certain type of neurons is more energy efficient than previously assumed
Researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology (IST) Austria have now resolved a contradiction about how a type of neurons generates signals. Scientists have...
Ants perform risk-averse sanitary care of infectious nest mates
Ants care for their debilitated home-mates in various ways, contingent upon their own resistant status. When they themselves are defenseless to unsafe superinfections, they...
Scientists proposed a new method for cooling quantum devices
Quantum PC parts are touchy and should be cooled to low temperatures. Their modest size makes them especially defenseless to a temperature increment because...
Scientists devised the first model to capture crosstalk in social dilemmas
The possibility that past cooperations can influence random future choices may appear glaringly evident: the outsider before you pays for your espresso, and afterward,...
Unifying the Theories of Neural Information Encoding
Digital Cameras have the capacity to record in extraordinary detail, however sparing every one of that information would take up an immense space. Thus,...
