Formation. Growth. (Gods?!)
Scientists used high-performance TEM to image the process of gold atoms assembling into nanocrystals. It was discovered that the atoms undergo a spontaneous transition between disordered and crystalline states. (1) Order out of chaos. Chaos out of order. So much known of a motto, that we usually fail to see beyond our self. The obvious…

Behavioral interactions. A self being…
Biologists often study animal sociality by collecting observations about behavioral interactions. These interactions can be things like severe or minor fights, cooperative food sharing or grooming. But to analyze animal behavior, researchers need to make decisions about how to categorize and code these interactions. That gets tricky. (1) Push. Push back. Who did start the…

Irrational Thoughts: Why something exists?
Part of 'Beyond the wall of Existence' project: An attempt to propose new ideas to solve the great philosophical mysteries of Existence and Being. One of the greatest questions of all time is how the world exists. Why is the matter that we see here? The most fundamental of questions. Where it all began. Why…

Dimensions. Dimensionless.
By adding some magnetic flair to an exotic quantum experiment, physicists produced an ultra-stable one-dimensional quantum gas with never-before-seen 'scar' states - a feature that could someday be useful for securing quantum information. (1) One dimension things. Three dimension space. Four dimension experiences. Multi dimension beings. Funny. No one cares about the element that makes…

Shapes. Mathematics. Descriptions…
In nature, many things have evolved that differ in size, color and, above all, in shape. While the color or size of an object can be easily described, the description of a shape is more complicated. Researchers have now outlined a new and improved way to describe shapes based on a network representation that can…
