Neutron stars are ultra-dense star remnants made up primarily of nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons). Over the course of ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...

Get the essentials on static and kinetic friction forces! This video covers the key differences between these two types of friction, how to calculate them, and real-world examples to help you ...

We are getting closer to understanding when the strong nuclear force loosens its grip on the most basic constituents of matter, letting quarks and gluons inside particles abruptly turn into a hot ...

When you wander around the internet, sometimes you can find some crazy stuff. Check this out: It's an old account of a weird phenomena created by giant plastic sheets at 3M Corporation. In short, ...

Two physicists in the US have come up with a way to use a “bubble” of ultracold atoms to measure extremely small forces. The scheme, which has yet to be tested experimentally, involves monitoring the ...

For all the problems AI is causing society, one of its greatest benefits lies in the world of science. A new study focused on the chaotic dynamics of dusty plasmas found that, when trained properly, ...

Intercellular forces generate distinct patterns of extrusion: high compressive forces (top panel) drive apoptotic cell extrusion toward the upper side, while lower compressive forces (bottom panel) ...
