NASA’s Fermi Telescope Poised to Pin Down Gravitational…
This visualization shows gravitational waves emitted by two black holes (black spheres) of nearly equal mass as they spiral together and merge. Yellow structures near the black holes illustrate the strong curvature of space-time in…
Animal-inspired whiskers key to new navigation technology
Researchers have developed artificial whiskers that allow robots to “see” the surroundings in dark and murky places by analysing the way the whiskers respond to water and air flow. [caption id="attachment_8490" align="alignright" width="300"] Seals can…
Thanks, actin, for the memories
Rice University theorists model complex interactions that allow for long-term memory [caption id="attachment_8481" align="alignnone" width="1425"] Actin pulls upon and stabilizes soluble cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding proteins into longer, insoluble prion-like fibers, a process believed to…
