In the oceans and on land, scientists are discovering rare, transitional organisms that bridge the gap between Earth’s simplest cells and today’s complex ones. By Carl Zimmer A flurry of new studies ...

A possible alternative to the active debris removal (ADR) by laser is the ablative propulsion by a remotely transmitted electron beam (e-beam). The e-beam ablation has been widely used in industries, ...

PythoC lets you use Python as a C code generator, but with more features and flexibility than Cython provides. Here’s a first look at the new C code generator for Python. Python and C share more than ...

Python has become one of the most popular programming languages out there, particularly for beginners and those new to the hacker/maker world. Unfortunately, while it’s easy to get something up and ...

I mainly use this package for geometry construction in LAMMPS, with some examples provided in the repository; of course, it can also be used for other software. Particles of specified geometries are ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

This fundamental work substantially advances our understanding of how the glycocalyx of cells provide a non-specific barrier for the interaction of viruses with cell-surface receptors. Using both in ...

Burmese pythons and other carnivorous snakes are well-known for swallowing their prey whole. But what comes out the other end doesn’t resemble what went in. There’s not a bone to be seen in their poop ...

Would you trust an AI agent to run unverified code on your system? For developers and AI practitioners, this question isn’t just hypothetical—it’s a critical challenge. The risks of executing ...

This valuable study presents a theoretical framework in which spatial periodicity in grid cell firing emerges as the optimal solution for encoding two-dimensional spatial trajectories via sequential ...
