Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology Mitchell de Boreal found its way back to sunlight in 2017, millions of years after its death. This armored dinosaur is so beautifully preserved that you can see what it looked like in life. Almost the entire animal – the skin, the armor covering its skin, the spikes along its …

Topological rate limit states that the topological structure limits the rate of physical systems, such as chemical reactions and bosonic systems interacting with many bodies. Credit: Vu & Saito Physical systems evolve at a particular speed, which depends on various factors, including the so-called topological structure of the system (i.e. spatial properties that are preserved …

About 20 to 40 million years ago, entelodonts – huge pig-like beasts – roamed all over Eurasia and North America. But despite their 3-foot jaws studded with an alarming number of triangular teeth, these barnyard nightmares apparently had a typical pig diet. New resultspublished recently in the journal Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, shed light on the …

Drug discovery can be a time-consuming and expensive affair, but with advances in artificial intelligence, researchers at Insilico Medicine and the University of Toronto have reduced what usually takes years or even decades to less one month. The study could be the first in the world to apply a breakthrough artificial intelligence technology called AlphaFold …
In a recent article published in Natural materialsthe researchers reported an organic electrochemical conductance-based neuron (c-OECN) that mimicked biological signaling in neurons, specifically the activation/inactivation of their sodium and potassium channels. Study: Ion-tunable antiambipolarity in mixed ion-electron conducting polymers enables biorealistic organic electrochemical neurons.

Screenshot from NASA’s Conceptual Image Lab of ‘Magnetic Reconnection Across the Solar System’. Magnetic reconnection occurs when antiparallel magnetic fields — in this case, found in solar flares — collide, snap, and realign. The process produces a high-energy explosion that hurls particles into space. Credit: NASA Concept Image Lab Scientists use powerful laser beams to …
The optical parametric oscillator (OPO) was used in the study. Credit: Alvaro Mountain Warrior Scientists are increasingly studying quantum entanglement, which occurs when two or more systems are created or interact in such a way that the quantum states of some cannot be described independently of the quantum states of others. The systems are correlated, …

CNN — The largest whales in the world are more than just amazing creatures. Like the ocean, soil and forests, whales can help save humanity from the accelerating climate crisis by sequestering and storing carbon emissions that are warming the planet, researchers say. In a paper published Thursday in the journal Trends in Ecology & …
