This composite image was weeks in the making, as Horálek’s two "crossings" happened months apart. Mars traced its path ...

Many astronomical events, such as meteor showers, run by calendrical timings as well. But our moon and the other planets move ...

New device could be used to observe structures as small as individual proteins, as well as the environment in which they move ...

Researchers found silica can outperform high-index materials for optical metasurfaces. Its chip-making compatibility enables ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

This is an important study on the sensory roles of Cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CBF-cn) in mammals. The authors identify PKD2L1 as the predominant pH-sensing channel CBF-cn and show how the ...

A device smaller than a grain of dust is emerging as a surprisingly powerful candidate to reshape how quantum computers are ...

Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a ...

Polymer thin-film optical cavities boost the magnetic sensing sensitivity of nanodiamond quantum sensors nearly fivefold ...

Researchers at Tsinghua University developed the Optical Feature Extraction Engine (OFE2), an optical engine that processes data at 12.5 GHz using light rather than electricity. Its integrated ...
