Researchers at KAIST, in collaboration with multiple institutions, have experimentally confirmed the three-dimensional distribution of vortex-shaped polarization inside ferroelectric nanoparticles. Using electron atomic tomography, they mapped the atomic positions in the barium titanate nanoparticles and calculated the internal polarization distribution. This discovery confirms theoretical predictions made 20 years ago and has potential for the development … Read more
A new study on sleep and learning shows a new development about brain activity at rest. Some of the neurons in the brain can fire during sleep in a way that has convinced researchers that the brain may be trying to predict the future. New research from Rice University and the University of Michigan builds … Read more
Last year, Jaume Pellicer led a team of other scientists into a forest on Grande Terre, an island east of Australia. They were looking for a fern called Tmesipteris oblanceolata. Standing only a few inches tall, it was not easy to find on the forest floor. “It’s not noticeable,” said Dr. Pellicer, who works at … Read more
An international team has discovered an Earth-sized planet orbiting a long-lived red dwarf, providing unique insights into potentially habitable worlds. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Researchers using robotic global telescopes discovered an Earth-sized planet, SPECULOOS-3 b, orbiting an ultracool red dwarf inside Milky Way. This planet, tidally locked and likely lacking an atmosphere due to intense radiation, offers … Read more

An international team of astronomers has announced the discovery of two of the earliest and most distant galaxies known. The light from both comes just 300 million years after the Big Bang and was only possible to observe thanks to the power of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The galaxies are located in a … Read more
