Humans originally began to spread out across Africa some 300,000 years ago, but it was long believed that they primarily stuck to savannas. This was because wet forest environments, with their harsh ...

Neutrinos are low-mass subatomic particles with zero electric charge that interact with matter only via the weak nuclear force and gravity. This makes neutrinos difficult to detect, despite the fact ...

A researcher at Tohoku University's Department of Physics discovered an unexpected quantum phenomenon concealed inside ...

The Jahn–Teller effect, proposed by Jahn and Teller in 1937, describes how molecules or crystals with degenerate electronic orbitals can lower their total energy by distorting their structure. This ...

The cosmos has served up a gift for a group of scientists who have been searching for one of the most elusive phenomena in ...

Researchers have managed to visualize two distinct mechanisms in which magnetism can switch within antiferromagnetic ...

Researchers have spent years taking apart one of the world's simplest microbes, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, piece by piece, and created a detailed list of what molecular parts the living cell can and ...
