Humans have an extraordinary ability to learn new concepts from just a few examples, but the cognitive mechanism behind this ability remains mysterious. A long line of work in systems neuroscience has ...

Particles with internal inclusions or cores are ubiquitous in the atmosphere. One example is dust particles coated with water-soluble aerosols such as sulfate or nitrate. For these particles, the dust ...

In multicellular organisms, sexual reproduction requires the separation of the germline from the soma. In flowering plants, the female germline precursor differentiates as a single spore mother cell ...

In mid-March, the mathematicians Joshua Greene and Andrew Lobb found themselves in the same situation: locked down and struggling to adjust while the COVID-19 pandemic grew outside their doors. They ...

The Plankton, Aerosol, Clouds, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission presents new opportunities and new challenges in applying observations of two complementary multi-angle polarimeters for the space-based ...

Actomyosin stress fiber (SF) networks transmit tension to the microenvironment, which contributes to cell shape and tissue assembly. However, virtually nothing is known about how SF geometry and ...

Figure 2: Deformation patterns observed in Sentinel-1 interferograms for the 2015 Gorkha mainshock and comparison with long-term levelling data. Within these bounds, the most likely dip angle for the ...

Small organic molecules are often flexible, i.e., they can adopt a variety of low-energy conformations in solution that exist in equilibrium with each other. Two main search strategies are used to ...

Traditional vascular risk factors do not completely explain the asymmetry, racial, and sex differences in carotid artery disease. Carotid anatomy and geometry may play a role in the pathogenesis of ...
