Researchers have long known that temperature can determine whether some reptiles develop as male or female, but this process ...

Scientists have developed an innovative ‘liquid-phase carbonization’ method to recycle waste polyethylene terephthalate into porous micro/nanostructured hard carbon enriched with intrinsic carbon ...

For more than a decade, Evan Economo's lab has been using micro-CT machines to scan insect specimens. The resulting X-ray images help researchers study the form and structure of insects—a subfield of ...

New 3D reconstructions of a key sensory organ in ctenophores reveal an unexpected structural and functional complexity. The ...

Scientists have uncovered surprising complexity in a tiny sensory structure found in comb jellies, some of the oldest animals on Earth.

Sustainability and heavy manufacturing have long had a strained relationship, shaped by scale, cost pressures and the ...

A new high-tech scanning system is rapidly turning thousands of ants into stunning 3D models—building a digital library of ...

Researchers have developed a high-tech system that rapidly scans ants and converts them into detailed 3D models. Using a synchrotron accelerator, X-ray imaging, robotics, and AI, the team scanned ...

Advanced 3D reconstructions of the comb jelly’s aboral organ reveal a sensory system far more complex than scientists expected. The organ contains a wide variety of specialized cells and is closely ...

The goal of increasing efficiency, stability, and lowering production costs in photovoltaic (PV) technology has pushed research into a new frontier: the nanoscale. It is now unequivocally established ...

Using the Subaru Telescope located at the summit of the extinct volcano Maunkea in Hawai'i, astronomers have captured a stunning image of a spiral galaxy that resembles a spinning cosmic wheel.

Fossils of two fish from over 400 million years ago - one a tiny streamlined creature, the other a giant among vertebrates of its time with bizarre teeth - have been discovered in China, filling a ...
