Caltech’s new optical devices, evolved by algorithms and crafted via precise 3D printing, offer advanced light-manipulation for applications like augmented reality and cameras. Researchers at Caltech have developed a groundbreaking technology that “evolves” optical devices and fabricates them using a specialized 3D printer. These devices, composed of optical metamaterials, gain their unique properties from nanometer-scale […]

Pain signals travel through the nervous system with the help of proteins known as calcium channels, which play a crucial role in the process. Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have identified the precise location of a specific calcium channel that modulates the intensity of these signals. This discovery could pave the way for the […]

A complete specimen reveals how pterosaurs evolved from early forms into the massive giants of later periods. The pterosaurs were extinct flying reptiles that lived alongside their close relatives, the dinosaurs. While the largest pterosaurs reached wingspans of up to 10 meters, earlier forms were typically limited to around 2 meters. In a newly published […]

The Landolt NASA Space Mission, hosted by George Mason University, will orbit an artificial star to refine telescope calibrations and astrophysical measurements. This project aims to advance the accuracy of scientific data concerning the universe’s expansion and celestial properties. George Mason University will lead the $19.5 million Landolt NASA Space Mission, a groundbreaking project that […]

New research shows the brain continues developing post-birth, with significant neuron migration in the entorhinal cortex enhancing learning and memory capabilities. The human brain continues to develop long after birth, much longer than previously thought, according to research led by Shawn Sorrells, an assistant professor of neuroscience at the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts […]
