MIT researchers discovered a paradoxical phenomenon in optical physics that could enable a new bioimaging method that's ...

Nature may abhor a vacuum, but it sure loves structure. Complex, self-organized assemblies are found throughout the natural world, from double-helix DNA molecules to the photonic crystals that make ...

Animals like bats, whales and insects have long used acoustic signals for communication and navigation. Now, an international team of scientists has taken a page from nature's playbook to model ...

Neurons placed inside engineered living bodies built from frog cells self-organize, become active, and reshape movement without evolutionary guidance. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Understanding how neurons ...

An international collaboration between researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan, the University of Tokyo, and the University College London has demonstrated that ...

Author and leadership expert Steve Denning has done research into new management structures. He notes that many high-performance teams are not manager-led. Top results emerge when management steps ...

MIT researchers have discovered a way for chaotic laser light to self-organize into a stable 'pencil beam,' enabling 3D imaging of the human blood-brain barrier 25 times faster than current methods.

Scientists have puzzled over the origin of Namibia's fairy circles for nearly half a century. It boiled down to two main theories: either termites were responsible, or plants were somehow ...

After a surprising discovery that overcomes a longstanding problem in fiber optics, MIT researchers demonstrated a biomedical ...
