Biohybrid robots made with plant and fungal tissue are more sensitive to their surroundings.
Transforming the brain tissue to glass would have required an extremely hot and fast-moving ash cloud, lab experiments suggest.
The charge transferred when identical objects touch depends on their history, scientists find.
High-pressure experiments generated the first direct observation of plastic ice, which has qualities of both crystalline ice and liquid water.
A deep-sea detector glimpsed a particle with 220 million billion electron volts of energy — around 20 times as energetic as any neutrino seen before.
A mantis shrimp's punch creates high-energy waves. Its exoskeleton is designed to absorb that energy, preventing cracking and tissue damage.
It’s hard to cook both the white and the yolk of the egg to the right temperature. Scientists have found a new method, called periodic cooking.
Quantum physics underlies technologies from the laser to the smartphone. The International Year of Quantum marks a century of scientific developments.
A compact method of detecting neutrinos provides new tests of physics theories and could lead to new reactor-monitoring methods.
