A response to claims made that 'women were less able at physics than men'

Swing may not just be about the “feel” of jazz musicians. It appears there’s science in it too.

Swing, the feeling of a rhythm in jazz music that compels feet to tap, may arise from near-imperceptible delays in musicians’ timing, a study shows.

An article published in Communications Physics discussed partially filled states of flat-band structures induced by thermodynamically stable corrugation of the graphene bilayer via an interlayer twist.

The freaky physics phenomenon of quantum tunneling may mutate genes

Imperfect current propagation in the heart is at the root of most cardiac diseases. Thanks to a novel magnetocardiography technique developed in the MEXT Q-LEAP Flagship project with researchers from Tokyo Tech and the University of Tokyo, we can now image these currents at millimeter-scale resolutions.

Mechanical engineers have essentially turned dead spiders into “claw machines”, making spongy electrodes based on sugar cubes, and more!

Long-time Slashdot reader waspleg shares a thought-provoking article from Popular Mechanics: Does reality exist, or does it take shape when an observer measures it? Akin to the age-old conundrum of whether a tree makes a sound if it falls in a forest with no one around to hear it, the above question...

For their distant detection, minimum invasion, tolerance to electromagnetic interferences, and excellent resolution, optical-based sensors provide appealing alternatives in temperature monitoring for biological diagnostics. This article will look at a recent study published in Light: Science & Applications.

The molecules of life, DNA, replicate with astounding precision, yet this process is not immune to mistakes and can lead to mutations. Using sophisticated
