An intricate lattice of microscopic magnets has led researchers to observe behavior that is reminiscent of the complexities of quantum mechanical systems, but in the context of a purely classical system.
In a new study published online April 2 in the...
Researchers have found an ancient monitor lizard with a fourth eye — a discovery that may signal a new wrinkle in the way eyesight evolved in vertebrates.
“This tells us how easy it is, in terms of evolution, for a complex organ to self-assemble under...
