Brain clock ticks differently in autism


A new brain imaging study shows that autistic severity is linked to how long certain regions of the brain store information.

Zebrafish imagine a danger-free future to avoid threats in virtual reality


By imaging the brain while zebrafish “swim” in virtual reality, scientists have learned that even fish can create internal models to predict future outcomes.

Stable green hydrogen production in a PEM electrolyzer


A little structurally manipulated manganese goes a long way when using a PEM electrolyzer to make hydrogen from water.

Laser melting ice-core sampler for studying climate change


This laser melting ice core sampler can determine temperature changes thousands of years ago on very fine timescale.

Flies use fecal deposits as pheromones


Bioluminescence imaging of fly brains reveals neurons sensitive to fly poo laced with pheromones (you can see the fecal “landmark” in the dotted circle). Need we say more?
