Phoenix galaxy cluster in the act of extreme cooling
The core of a massive cluster of galaxies appears to be pumping out far more stars than it should. Now researchers at MIT and elsewhere have discovered a key ingredient within the cluster that explains the core’s prolific starburst.
In a new…

The molecular Einstein: One molecule, endless patterns
Is it possible to tile a surface with a single shape in such a way that the pattern never repeats itself? In 2022, a mathematical solution to this “einstein problem” was discovered for the first time. Empa researchers have now also found a…

Scientists discover mechanism driving molecular network formation
Covalent bonding is a widely understood phenomenon that joins the atoms of a molecule by a shared electron pair. But in nature, patterns of molecules can also be connected through weaker, more dynamic forces that give rise to supramolecular…

Researchers shed light on the mechanisms of bacterial flagellar motors
When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have existed for millions of years in microorganisms. Among these, many bacterial species have tail-like structures — called…

Evolution, evolution, evolution: How evolution got so good at evolving
The field of evolution examines how organisms adapt to their environments over generations, but what about the evolution of evolution itself?
Researchers have long questioned why biological populations are so good at exploiting their environments…

Engineers discover key barrier to longer-lasting batteries
Lithium nickel oxide (LiNiO2) has emerged as a potential new material to power next-generation, longer-lasting lithium-ion batteries. Commercialization of the material, however, has stalled because it degrades after repeated charging.

Parental Divorce May Raise Stroke Risk Later in Life
New research published in PLOS One has shown that older adults whose parents divorced when they were children may be at greater risk of having a stroke later in life.
The study included data from 13,205…
