Every deliberate sniff may activate a brain system that has survived millions of years of evolution. A mouse searching for food may sniff several times each second. A person checking whether a cantaloupe is ripe usually leans in for one slow, deliberate breath. Those behaviors look completely different, but new research suggests the brain may […]
Humans and Mice May Process Smells in Very Similar Ways
Every deliberate sniff may activate a brain system that has survived millions of years of evolution. A mouse searching for food may sniff several times each second. A person checking whether a cantaloupe is ripe usually leans in for one slow, deliberate breath. Those behaviors look completely different, but new research suggests the brain may […]
These Beautiful Flowers Can Paralyze You, but Their Chemistry Could Save Lives
Researchers take the first steps toward recreating powerful chemicals derived from plants in the laboratory. Wolfsbane and larkspur can cause neurotoxicity and paralysis at extremely low doses, yet their chemistry has also been used against pain, malaria, cancer, and pests. Researchers have now taken the first steps toward recreating some of these powerful plant compounds […]
World’s First Photonic Time Crystal Can Reshape Light in Trillionths of a Second
A world-first photonic time crystal can reshape light almost instantly, opening a path toward ultrafast optical technology. An international research team has created the first experimentally demonstrated all-optical photonic time crystal (PTC), a material whose optical behavior can be altered strongly and repeatedly over extremely short periods of time. The work, carried out by scientists […]
