After thousands of years as a highly valuable commodity, silk continues to surprise. Now it may help usher in a whole new direction for microelectronics and computing.

Discover new clues about how our ancient relatives disappeared from time.

A beautiful butterfly is able to fool ants into rearing its young by masking them with the ants’ own smell, say researchers.

Caterpillars of the alcon blue butterfly have developed an outer coat that tricks ants into believing the young are its own, duping the ants into carrying the larvae back to their colonies to care for.

But what is more, the ant seems to “recognise” that it is being duped and one population appears to be engaging in an evolutionary arms race with the butterfly, says the team led by David Nash at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

When we think creatively, produce novel ideas, or otherwise have “Eureka” moments, we may actually unlock access to a dimension outside of our everyday perception, according to the controversial theory.

Tutorial: A thorough presentation of quasiprobabilities elucidates their potentially pivotal use in many important areas of quantum research.

Scientists identified a new mechanism causing lithium-ion battery self-discharge and degradation: cathode hydrogenation. They revealed how protons and electrons from the electrolyte impact the cathode.

CRISPR, the gene-editing technology, has been one of the major breakthroughs in biology in the last two decades. And while students learn about the capability to cut, paste, and alter genes, it’s rare that they get the chance to understand the technology by using it themselves.
