Thirst: How the Body Regulates It

TECH & INNOVATION A study shows that the stomach may have cells determining our level of thirst. Ever notice how an ice-cold glass of water can be the most delicious and refreshing option at times, while other times it feels as if your body is just saying no? A new study conducted in mice suggests that a mysterious element in the stomach may play a role by predicting how much you need to drink to satisfy the body.

Echolocation: Tapping into Our Animalistic Senses

Can humans use hidden senses such as echolocation? Everyone knows that bats are blind. Most of us are familiar with the echolocation sense in which bats use to navigate through their surroundings and locate food.

Twisted Graphene is Science’s Hottest New Topic

Atom-sized superconductors discovered with a simple angle adjustment. Just a year ago, scientists presented results that seemed almost too good to be true: Carbon sheets only a single atom thick, called graphene, took on a pair of important physical properties when they were twisted at just the right "magic" angle relative to one another.

Physicists Are Now Listening to the Quantum Vacuum

With the use of lasers and mirrors, physicists can hear 'nothingness'. The Louisiana State University Department of Physics & Astronomy associate professor Thomas Corbitt and his team of researchers now present the first broadband, off-resonance measurement of quantum radiation pressure noise in the audio band, at frequencies relevant to gravitational wave detectors.

Listening to the quantum vacuum

Since the historic finding of gravitational waves from two black holes colliding over a billion light years away was made in 2015, physicists are advancing knowledge about the limits on the precision of the measurements that will help improve the next generation of tools and technology used by gravitational wave scientists.

30 Things You Didn’t Know about Einstein

People know Albert Einstein as someone who created a revolution in Physics with his pioneering theories. However, there are a lot of things that most people don't know about the great physicist. The following are 30 things that we didn't know about him.

Quantum Computing: Trying to Scratch the Surface

A ground level expalantion of quantum computing In reference to a recent article titled 'Quantum Computer Time Reversal: Can It Happen?', I would like to try to explain how quantum computing works.

Scientists Bridge the Communication Gap Between Fish and Bees

Is interspecies communication possible? Wouldn't it be amazing if interspecies communication could happen? Albeit, animal communication is fascinating and often way more complex than people realize, humans are able to communicate with other species with some success but now, researchers have allowed two very different creatures to "talk" to each other through the use of robots.

Quantum Computer Time Reversal: Can It Happen?

Time reversal may be possible. An international team of researchers has constructed a time-reversal program on a quantum computer, in an experiment that has huge implications for our understanding of quantum computing.

A True King of the Dinosaurs is Finally Pieced Together

Oldest and largest t-rex assembled in Canada We have all seen the movies and are familiar with the lore of the infamous T- rex. For as long as we can remember T- rex has been considered the King of Dinosaurs.

The Milky Way’s Mid-section is Full of Relic-like Stars

The oldest stars in our galaxy are being studied. Astronomers have gazed into our galaxy and have found some of the oldest stars recorded to date. In a study to be published in the April 2019 issue of the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, researchers analyzed a cluster of old, dim stars called HP1, located about 21,500 light-years away from Earth in the gut of our galaxy's central bulge.
