Physarum polycephalum, a single-cell organism known as slime mold, builds complex web-like filamentary networks in search of food, always finding near-optimal...
Astronomers have measured the rotation of 1,418 galaxies and found that small ones are likely to spin on a different axis to large ones. The rotation was...
An international team of astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has studied a filament of dark matter in three dimensions for the first time.
This...
