[:es]Surfaces So Different Even a Fourth Dimension Can’t Make Them the Same[:]

[:es]For decades mathematicians have searched for a specific pair of surfaces that can’t be transformed into each other in four-dimensional space. Now they’ve found them.[:]

[:es]The Brain Has a ‘Low-Power Mode’ That Blunts Our Senses[:]

[:es]Neuroscientists uncovered an energy-saving mode in vision-system neurons that works at the cost of being able to see fine-grained details.[:]

[:es]Astronomers Reimagine the Making of the Planets[:]

[:es]Observations of faraway planets have forced a near-total rewrite of the story of how our solar system came to be.[:]

[:es]Physicists Rewrite the Fundamental Law That Leads to Disorder[:]

[:es]The second law of thermodynamics is among the most sacred in all of science, but it has always rested on 19th century arguments about probability. New arguments trace its true source to the flows of quantum information.[:]

[:es]Mathematicians Coax Fluid Equations Into Nonphysical Solutions[:]

[:es]The famed Navier-Stokes equations can lead to cases where more than one result is possible, but only in an extremely narrow set of situations.[:]

[:es]Secrets of the Moon’s Permanent Shadows Are Coming to Light[:]

[:es]Robots are about to venture into the sunless depths of lunar craters to investigate ancient water ice trapped there, while remote studies find hints about how water arrives on rocky worlds.[:]
