[:es]With proteins that reversibly self-assemble into droplets, cells may control their metabolism — and harden themselves against harsh conditions. [:]

[:es]Quasars powered by supermassive black holes have been unexpectedly vanishing. Scientists have started to figure out why. [:]

[:es]Experiments suggest that exotic superconducting materials share a “strange metal” state characterized by a quantum speed limit that somehow acts as a fundamental organizing principle.[:]

[:es]In the latest campaign to reconcile Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics, many physicists are studying how a higher dimensional space that includes gravity arises like a hologram from […]

[:es]Using a new CRISPR-based technique, researchers are examining how the position of DNA within the nucleus affects gene expression and cell function.[:]

[:es]As chemists tie the most complicated molecular knot yet, biophysicists create a “periodic table” that describes what kinds of knots are possible. [:]

[:es]Odd enough to potentially model the strangeness of the physical world, complex numbers with “imaginary” components are rooted in the familiar.[:]

[:es]In a major mathematical achievement, a small team of researchers has proven Zimmer’s conjecture.[:]

[:es]The idea that the universe splits into multiple realities with every measurement has become an increasingly popular proposed solution to the mysteries of quantum mechanics. But this “many-worlds interpretation” is […]
