Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have shown that excitonic resonances and transitions between excitons can significantly increase...
Quantum simulation enables scientists to simulate and study complex systems that are challenging or even impossible using classical computers across...
A previously unknown mechanism of active matter self-organization essential for bacterial cell division follows the motto “dying to align”: Misaligned...
Applying chaos theory to the movement of iconic arctic whales uncovered a 24-hour diving cycle and a long-range (~100 km)...
In the famous double-slit experiment, an interference pattern consisting of dark and bright bands emerges when a beam of light...
New research using a decommissioned section of the beam pipe from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has brought...
According to the infamous myth, groups of lemmings sometimes run off cliffs to their collective doom. Imagine you are one...
