Scientists uncover principles of universal self-assembly
For years, researchers have searched for the working principles of self-assembly that can build a cell (complex biological organism) as well as a crystal (far simpler inorganic material) in the same way. Now, a team of scientists in Turkey has…
Timing of large earthquakes follows a ‘devil’s staircase’ pattern
At the regional level and worldwide, the occurrence of large shallow earthquakes appears to follow a mathematical pattern called the Devil’s Staircase, where clusters of earthquake events are separated by long but irregular intervals of seismic quiet. The finding published…

Mathematicians develop new theory to explain real-world randomness
Brownian motion describes the random movement of particles in fluids, however, this revolutionary model only works when a fluid is static, or at equilibrium. In real-life environments, fluids often contain particles that move by themselves, such as tiny swimming microorganisms.…
Physicists propose new filter for blocking high-pitched sounds
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Need to reduce high-pitched noises? Science may have an answer. In a new study, theoretical physicists report that materials made from tapered chains of spherical beads could help dampen sounds that lie at the upper range of…
Learning how cancer cells coordinate and collaborate to multiply and metastasize
Researchers from Osaka University and the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology show that cancer cells cultured on Matrigel migrate to form a network structure as they do in vivo, and describe the forces responsible

Re-thinking ‘tipping points’ in ecosystems and beyond
When a grassland becomes a desert, or a clearwater lake shifts to turbid, the consequences can be devastating for the species that inhabit them. These abrupt environmental changes, known as regime shifts, are the subject of new research in Nature…

New tool to study how neuronal networks recover their function after neuron loss
A multidisciplinary study led by UB researchers has developed a new experimental tool that enables the application of focalized damage on an in vitro neuronal network of only a few millimetres and record the evolution of the whole network. The…
Visualizing diffusive dynamics beyond tracking limit with standard optical microscope
Evaluating the spatio-temporal distribution of diffusion coefficients for high-concentration Brownian particles without fluorescent labeling nor tracking them from microscopy movie data analysis based on the statistical physics
The Paradox of Dormancy: Why sleep when you can eat?
Why do predators sometimes lay dormant eggs — eggs which are hardy, but take a long time to hatch, and are expensive to produce? That is the question that researchers from Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) set out…
Computer-based weather forecast: New algorithm outperforms mainframe computer systems
New algorithm solves complex problems more easily and more accurately on a personal computer while requiring less processing power than a supercomputer
‘Rosetta stone’ for urban scaling makes sense of how cities change across time and space
Cities change as they grow — not only by adding area or population but also in a variety of other ways, from the length and width of their roads to economic growth to the distribution of elementary schools. Social scientists…
