Forgetting who you are… One experience at a time…
Researchers have revealed that infants aged 4- to 5-months already hold a primary cerebral representation of audiovisual integration of material information in their right hemisphere, and the number of types of material which can be processed by infants' brain increases with the experience of the materials. This finding may lead to understand the trajectory of…

Such counterintuitive behaviour is typically confined to the microscopic realm and the question "why don't we see such behaviour in everyday objects?" challenges many scientists today. A…

Measuring the cosmos… Ghosts and numbers…
A groundbreaking experiment in physics has for the first time provided a precise measurement of a force between electrons and protons called the weak nuclear force. The value 0.0719 (give or take 0.0045) won't mean much to most of us, but the way they did it makes way for some exciting possibilities for pushing physics…
