Quantum fuels…
Perfect energy efficiency may be one step closer due to new research by physicists. Jordan and his team investigated how it might be possible to extract work from a system using entanglement as a fuel. In entanglement - one of the basic of concepts of quantum physics - the properties of one particle are interlinked…

Knowing thy name…
Physicists surprised to find that in specially coated tubes, the more viscous a liquid is, the faster it flows. (1) Water. Dripping fast. Honey. Dripping slow. Things changing. Only because of things changing. Honey. Dripping fast. Water. Dripping slow. Ask yourself. Would you ever ask why? Oh, wise man... (What is your name?)

Cloning. Being.
The identity of wild cloning sea star larvae has been a mystery since they were first documented in the Caribbean. The most commonly collected cloning species was thought to belong to the Oreasteridae, on the basis of similarity with sequences from Oreaster reticulatus and Oreaster clavatus. (1) Sea stars cloning themselves. Humans drowning. Stars exploding.…

Touch Earth. Sense that flower…
Seismic waves, commonly associated with earthquakes, have been used by scientists to develop a universal scaling law for the sense of touch. A team used Rayleigh waves to create the first scaling law for touch sensitivity. (1) Touch the rhinoceros. Touch me. Touch Earth. They all feel it. And so do you. A sense of…
