Myelin is a sheath around the nerves made by certain brain cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells arise from progenitor cells called oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells (OPCs). Myelination begins ...

Quantum oscillations are like the rhythmic dance of electrons in a metal when exposed to a magnetic field. By applying a magnetic field, researchers can change the speed with which those electron ...

It is well known that audio editing is the secret sauce that makes VR/AR experiences, virtual meetings, and immersive media feel real. But current generative audio tools are limited. They’re based on ...

Stunning new Sun images reveal a long-predicted solar phenomenon.

Researchers from Drexel University and Penn State University have developed a new hydrogel and can be used to produce durable ...

Using Survey data from the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Southern Treasury, the researchers studied star formation near M32.

A new technique produces wafer-scale samples, overcoming a major roadblock to using these materials in quantum technologies.

Nitrogen gas (𝑁2) is everywhere; it makes up nearly 80% of Earth’s atmosphere, but its triple bond is so strong that most ...

A false-color electron microscope image shows the devices. Using the new scalable fabrication technique, researchers fabricated more than 1,000 devices using sub-nanometer molecular layers. Credit: ...

The history of iron metallurgy in sub-Saharan Africa has long puzzled scientists. Now, a newly studied site in eastern Senegal offers one of the clearest windows to date into this ancient ...

Microplastics have been increasingly detected in the human body, raising major concerns about their health effects. In response, scientists have considered ways to safely detach these particles, and ...
