A new passive cooling system relies on evaporation and radiation and requires no electricity. The device can provide up to about 19 degrees Fahrenheit (9.3 degrees Celsius) of cooling from… Read More »Passive cooling system could benefit off-grid locations
With autocorrect and auto-generated email responses, algorithms offer plenty of assistance to help people express themselves. But new research shows people who rely on algorithms for assistance with language-related, creative… Read More »Did my computer say it best?
Researchers have developed a new mathematical technique to begin to understand how a cell’s nucleus is organized. They hope this understanding will expose vulnerabilities that can be targeted to reprogram… Read More »Mathematics enable scientists to understand organization within a cell’s nucleus
Investigating how solid matter behaves at enormous pressures, such as those found in the deep interiors of giant planets, is a great experimental challenge. To help address that challenge, Lawrence… Read More »Under pressure: Solid matter takes on new behavior
As stable as it may seem, space is actually quite stretchy. All objects in the universe bend the fabric of space and time, or spacetime. More massive objects warp it… Read More »Let’s learn about gravitational waves
