Precision measurements offer clues to magnetar’s cosmic origin
An international team of astronomers have used a powerful array of radio telescopes to discover new insights about a magnetar that’s only a few hundred years old. By capturing precise measurements of the magnetar’s position and velocity, new clues emerge regarding its developmental path. An international team of astronomers have used a powerful array of radio…
Hidden harmonies: Team discovers magnon–phonon Fermi resonance in an antiferromagnet
Soon, data storage centers are expected to consume almost 10% of the world’s energy generation. This increase is, among other things, due to intrinsic limitations of the materials used—ferromagnets. Consequently, this problem has ignited a quest for faster and more energy-efficient materials. Soon, data storage centers are expected to consume almost 10% of the world’s energy…
DNA analysis of Elapidae family of snakes shows they have an Asian origin, not African
A small team of evolutionary biologists from the University of Kansas, the American Museum of Natural History, and the University of Helsinki, has found that a family of snakes known as Elapidae originated in Asia, not Africa, as many in the field have thought. A small team of evolutionary biologists from the University of Kansas, the…

In immune cells, X marks the spot(s)
There are many known sex differences in health and disease: cases in which either men or women are more likely to get a disease, experience a symptom, or have a certain drug side effect. Some of these sex differences are caused by social and environmental factors: for example, when men smoked more than women, men…
