Einstein’s theory of relativity predicts that rotating bodies twist the space-time around them. PSR J1141-6545 is a neutron star in orbit around a white dwarf...
Glass frogs are well known for their transparent belly skin that gives them a unique translucent appearance. We asked how being translucent, rather than...
It is a common belief that most domestic cats do not respond to their names, unlike domestic dogs. But with careful behavioral experiments, it becomes clear...
Stingless bee honey contains high levels of a rare special sugar called trehalulose, not normally found in in any other food. For the first time, this low...
Ancient comets are great history-tellers of the Solar system. Our discovery of nitrogenous salts within comets provides hints for how comets might have brought...
Why are we all different? By comparing brain anatomy we uncovered anatomical difference in the brain of individuals, resulting from chance processes during...
Why do speedy, agile anchovies fall prey to humpback whales, when they are able to escape faster predators? This study explained this phenomenon using field,...
Histones have been known as proteins that package the DNA of eukaryotes and regulate gene expression. We discovered that histones also function as enzymes that...
The social bond between parent and offspring balances selfishness and altruism. We investigated how genes control these behaviors in European earwigs, and...
How warm-blooded birds and mammals evolved from cold-blooded ancestors remains a major question in paleontology and evolutionary biology. A heat transfer model...
We developed a nanoscale device that can mimic human brain cells for vision, by combining two promising nanomaterials, graphene and perovskite quantum dots....
Earth’s atmosphere has changed throughout our planet’s history, helping to regulate climate—but finding evidence for changes from billions of years ago remains...
