Today it seems that, if that revolution is still coming, its arrival has been more than a little delayed. Sales of plant-based…
An international research team from Germany’s Forschungszentrum Jülich and Korea’s IBS Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) has developed a quantum sensor capable of detecting minute magnetic fields at the atomic-length scale. This pioneering work realizes a long-held dream of scientists: an MRI-like tool for quantum materials. An international research team from Germany’s Forschungszentrum Jülich and Korea’s…

In the Middle Ages, alchemists were notoriously secretive and didn’t share their knowledge with others. Danish Tycho Brahe was no exception. Consequently, we don’t know precisely what he did in the alchemical laboratory located beneath his combined residence and observatory, Uraniborg, on the now Swedish island of Ven. In the Middle Ages, alchemists were notoriously secretive…
Komodo dragons (Varanus komodoensis) are the largest living predatory lizards and their serrated, curved and blade-shaped teeth make them valuable analogues for studying tooth structure, function and comparing with extinct species, such as theropod dinosaurs. Their teeth possess only a thin coating of enamel that is nevertheless able to cope with the demands of their…
