Instability is AI's Achilles’ heel. We show the following paradox: there are cases where stable and accurate AI exists, but it can never be trained by any...
Using some common household cleaning products lead to the formation of indoor pollutants. During realistic use, we observed for the first time that chemical...
At the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (USA), we have recently produced record performance in laser-driven fusion experiments. Exploring and...
FASER, a small experiment at the CERN LHC, searches for new hypothetical particles proposed in theories that try to address some of the open questions of the...
In recent years, scientists have discovered that many animals can sense the weak magnetic field of the earth and use it to help them navigate. Other studies...
A magic square is a grid of numbers where every column and row sum up to the same number. We explain the “quantum jump” for magic squares, generalizing them to...
An electronic “skin” can find applications in health care, robotics, and prosthetics, and can benefit the well-being, economy, and sustainability of our...
During development our organs take different distinct shapes. Recent results from our lab showed that under certain circumstances muscle cells collectively...
Tiny fluorescent molecules, inspired by the color-changing lobster pigment, have been developed to visualize and measure the tension of various cellular...
Can we distinguish between Baroque period paintings and Impressionist paintings by only looking at the horizon’s position? We mathematically analyzed the...
At the dawn of recorded history, ancient Egyptians already used different colors of inks to highlight important messages on papyri. We studied the composition...
We created the first non-cuttable material by mimicking the unique shell structures of the abalone sea creature. The material dynamically interacts with...
Nature often inspires scientists to engineer molecules for cutting-edge technologies like quantum computers. However, it has been challenging to handle...
The Earth’s climate is a complex, dynamic system and understanding of how it evolves still poses challenges. In a new study, researchers simplified Earth to a...
Morphogens are biological molecules that instruct patterning in developing tissues. We used an artificial morphogen to guide development in the fruit fly wing....
Chemists tend to take inspiration for innovation from nature. A team led by the Nobel Prize winner J. Fraser Stoddart developed a fully artificial molecular...
Polycatenanes are tiny chains, made by linking cyclic molecules together in a chain without using chemical bonds. They have been attracting attention as a...
The movement of particles in solution through the holes and spaces in a material as the liquid flows through is critical to processes such as underground water...
Soft-bodied robots often crawl as slow as a caterpillar. How can we make soft robots run faster, like a cheetah? One solution is to add a flexible spine.
A particle of light takes 247 zeptoseconds to cover the bond length of the hydrogen molecule. With a microscopic double-slit experiment, we have resolved this...
Imagine you spilled coffee over the spreadsheets containing your research data, and a large part of the data is completely unreadable. Before you throw away...
When it comes to recycling, not all plastics are equal. While the world still struggles to manage recycling streams for simple plastics like PET, manufacturers...
To understand why color is fading in precious artworks, the reproduction of ancient colors is a vital ingredient. This know-how was lost at the turn of the...
In situ non-invasive spectroscopic methods combined with synchrotron radiation X-ray techniques allowed us to unveil that moisture, but not light, is the main...
