Axions are hypothetical light particles that could solve two different physics problems, as they could explain why some ...

From morning glories spiraling up fence posts to grape vines corkscrewing through arbors, twisted growth is a problem-solving ...

True wisdom, I believe, emerges when three forces—data, intuition and AI—are balanced, each complementing the others to forge ...

Scientists have long known that mutations in certain genes affecting microtubules in plants can cause plants to grow in a twisting manner. In most cases, these are “null mutations,” meaning the ...

This plant root was among those studied as part of new research exploring the molecular underpinnings of how plants twist ...

By partnering with artificial intelligence (AI), a researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has solved a long-standing physics problem and uncovered the ...

On a set of broken clay bowls from northern Mesopotamia, delicate flower patterns have turned out to be something far more radical than decoration. New analysis of this ancient art suggests that early ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects ...

Superconductors promise loss-free electricity, but most only work at extreme cold. Hydrogen-rich materials changed that—yet their inner workings remained hidden because they only exist under enormous ...

We test the differences in rolling resistance and aerodynamic performance between the Continental GP5000 S TR and the ...

Ancient pottery reveals early farmers were using math thousands of years before numbers, embedding geometry and patterns into everyday art.
