<p>Researchers have long wondered how neural networks are able to rearrange to form rare &quot;heavy-tailed&quot; connections and whether the formation process is species specific or governed by a deeper shared principle. With the publication of a new paper in the journal <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-023-02332-9"><em>Nature Physics</em></a>, scientists at the <a href="https://www.gc.cuny.edu/initiative-theoretical-sciences#:~:text=Promoting%20collaboration%20across%20the%20theoretical,approaches%20to%20the%20natural%20s...

As climate change exacerbates global droughts and water scarcity, fog harvesting is emerging as a sustainable solution to increase freshwater supply.

<p>A new study by physicists and neuroscientists from the University of Chicago, Harvard and Yale describes how connectivity among neurons comes about through general principles of networking and self-organization, rather than the biological features of an individual organism.</p>

<p><strong>As the potter works the spinning wheel, the friction between their hands and the soft clay helps them shape it into all kinds of forms and creations. In a fascinating parallel, sea squirt oocytes (immature egg cells) harness friction within various compartments in their interior to undergo developmental changes after conception. A study from the <a href="https://ista.ac.at/en/research/heisenberg-group/">Heisenberg group</a> at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), published in <em>Nature Physics</em>, now describes how ...

Spanish researcher Javier Prior leads an international group that is developing sensors designed to identify anomalies in their earliest stage and at the cellular level
