New research from the University of Chicago challenges long-held beliefs about how synaptic plasticity contributes to memory ...

Credit: Logan Billet Because of the life-history plasticity common to many amphibians, growth and development can vary independently: for example, tadpoles may grow slowly and thus be smaller than ...

and developmental biology have shown the importance of the H3K36 methylation process in regulating plasticity and regeneration in intestinal cells. Researchers from the University of Colorado ...

We define this process as metabolic myelin plasticity." Scientists are unsure as to what – if any – issues this change in the brain has in the two months following a marathon, but it provides ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics ...

Behold, the human brain: Often compared to a computer, the body's most complex organ operates using a code of electrical and chemical signals. These signals transmit through wires, nodes and ...

Mar. 25, 2025 — To get around the constraints of quantum physics, researchers have built a new acoustic system to study the way the minuscule atoms of condensed matter talk together. They hope ...

Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very ...

Quantum astrochemist Clara Sousa-Silva studies how molecules in space interact with light, offering clues to what distant objects are made of.
