Physicists at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg have developed a new class of materials: so-called multiferroic liquids. These materials combine ferromagnetic and ferroelectric properties in a liquid state for the first…
We’ve just passed the First Quarter, meaning the moon is now on its way toward becoming full. This is part of the lunar cycle, the moon’s journey from New Moon to Full and back again, a rhythm…
Owls are among the most charismatic groups of cosmopolitan non-passerine birds, including 229 extant species worldwide [45]. Unfortunately, knowledge of their haemosporidian parasites is still limited [3, 14,15,16]. Molecular records exist for…
The Milky Way is a rich and complex environment. We see it as a luminous line stretching across the night sky, composed of innumerable stars.
But that’s just the visible light. Observing the sky in other ways, such as through radio waves,…
In most animals, stem cells rely on nearby cells to tell them what to do. However, new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research shows that flatworm, or planarian, stem cells behave differently. Instead of listening to their…

In the field of optimization, metaheuristic algorithms are widely used to solve complex problems in real life and engineering, such as resource allocation, drone path planning, and supply chain management. The dung…
It’s a well-known fact that Jupiter plays a vital role in the dynamics of the Solar System. As the largest planet beyond the “Frost Line,” the boundary where volatiles (like water) freeze, Jupiter protects the planets of the inner Solar…
We are truly lucky to live in an age where modern instruments – like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) – exist and are pulling back the veil on the period known as the Cosmic Dark Ages (aka. the Epoch of Reionization). Thanks to its…
