In a new study, scientists managed to increase the lifespan of a genus of small flies by altering the symbiotic relationship between bacteria and the cells lining the intestine. Read on to find out more. 

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered that sodium bismuthate can exist as a form of quantum matter called a 3D topological Dirac semimetal (3DTDS). Read on to know more. 

Electronics on very thin substrates have shown remarkable flexibility and lightness. Researchers have now been able to develop a new form of thin-film technology that is very flexible and functional. Read on to find out more. 

According to a new study, light-gathering macromolecules in plant cells transfer energy by taking advantage of molecular vibrations whose physical descriptions have no equivalents in classical physics. Read on to know more. 

The discovery of pelves and a partial pelvic fin from Tiktaalik roseae, a 375 million-year-old transitional species between fish and the first legged animals, reveals that hind legs actually evolved from enhanced hind fins. Read on to know more. 

A long-term study has shown that infant lemurs born to older mothers are less likely to get hurt than those born to younger mothers. Read on to know more. 

In a study that challenges the fundamental rules of classical chemistry, W. Zhang et al. report compounds that violate textbook rules—NaCl₃, NaCl₇, Na₃Cl₂, Na₂Cl, and Na₃Cl. Read on to know more. 

A recent study has shown that the need to be rewarded immediately is an obstacle in efforts to halt the effects of climate change. Read on to know more. 

When a solid object like a rubber ball is compressed onto a solid surface, it retains its original form when decompressed. In contrast, a water droplet’s contact angle with the surface irreversibly changes. But a new study has reported some interesting findings. 

Scientists have found a way to mathematically explain the severity and timing of human confrontations. Read on to know more.
