A team of researchers from Penn State developed an ultrathin optical element known as a metasurface, which can attach to a conventional camera and encode the spectral and polarization data of images captured in a snapshot or video through tiny, antenna-like nanostructures that tailor light properties.
UC Berkeley archaeologists have proposed a new theory about how early humans hunted megafauna 13,000 years ago using Clovis points. Rather than throwing spears or scavenging, they suggest humans used planted spears braced against the ground to impale charging animals.
The new model for how the brain directs movements from UChicago works like a record player in a bowl, where tilting it at different angles gets different results.
New results from the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector, LUX-ZEPLIN, have narrowed down possibilities for one of the leading dark matter candidates: weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs.
University of Florida researchers are currently investigating whether a synthetic version of the hormone oxytocin can be used in conjunction with prescription drugs to help curb opioid addictions, especially in susceptible older adults.
