• Experimental quantum communications network May 6, 2025
  Researchers recently connected their campuses with an experimental quantum communications network using two optical fibers.
• Do manta rays benefit from collective motion? May 6, 2025
  Researchers model the motions of groups of manta rays to study how group dynamics affect their propulsion, studying different formations of three manta rays: in tandem, in a triangular setup with one manta ray in front leading two behind, and in an inverse triangular configuration with one manta ray trailing the other two. They found […]
• How hunting harriers home in on their prey May 6, 2025
  Owls, well adapted to hearing the exact location of prey, have something in common with an unrelated group of raptors -- harriers. A new study has found that harriers across the world are able to keep a much better ear out for their next meal than previously thought.
• Research advances on 'displacing' antibiotic resistance gene from bacteria May 6, 2025
  Scientists have identified essential genetic code for a method called plasmid curing, which aims to 'displace' antibiotic resistance genes from bacteria.
• Accordion effect makes graphene stretchable May 6, 2025
  Graphene is a 'miracle material': mechanically extremely strong and electrically highly conductive, ideal for related applications. Using a unique method physicists have now made graphene drastically more stretchable by rippling it like an accordion. This paves the way for new applications in which certain stretchability is required (e.g. wearable electronics).
