It’s been hard for the neuroscience community to take a step back from this old school interpretation that the brain is this ...

Hybrid materials made of magnets and superconductors give rise to fascinating quantum phenomena, which are so sensitive that ...

Researchers have devised a new way to define thermodynamic concepts in microscopic quantum systems, where conventional distinctions between heat and work begin to blur. Researchers at the University o ...

Humans have long wondered when and how we begin to form thoughts. Are we born with a pre-configured brain, or do thought ...

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf's lab used organoids to make fundamental discoveries about human ...

Physicists have created a visible, self-sustaining “time crystal” using swirling liquid crystals that move in endlessly repeating patterns when illuminated. Imagine a clock that runs forever without ...

Co-author Richard Taylor, a physicist at the University of Oregon, first found evidence of fractal patterns in Pollock’s ...

Yet according to physics, information is never destroyed. In principle, a burned book is just as readable as the original—if ...

In our world of AI-dominated algorithms, some nuclear physicists prefer to do science the old-fashioned way. And this newly developed physics-based, AI-free algorithm may be the breakthrough needed ...

Most people, after suffering consequences for a bad decision, will alter their future behavior to avoid a similar negative outcome. That’s just common sense. But many social circles have that one ...

No matter how tight your mental health and happiness are, you may fall prey to negative thoughts. No matter how upbeat they are, everyone will find themselves in a situation where they need to figure ...
