The space-time oddities of modern physics may have just been taken to a new level of odd, as researchers have revealed that space and time can be used to form a variety of structures that may then be able to become tiny black holes. The unusual discovery, reported by researchers from Vienna and Frankfurt, presents a new formula for this unusual effect, which they claim can be used to create a crystal-like structure resulting from spacetime self-organization due to a […]

Researchers from Brown University and their collaborators have developed a new way to measure the properties of cells—an important development, they say, because accurate measurements of changes in cell elasticity can be used to better understand diseases, diagnose patient symptoms and provide more accurate prognoses.

For the past three decades, a team of archaeologists have been uncovering some of the field’s most recent monumental discoveries, relying on gut instinct, persistent hard work, and cutting-edge methods and technologies.

Until a few years ago, no one had heard of bixonimania. Then, in 2024, a group of scientists posted findings online announcing the condition, which they claimed affected the eyes after computer use.
