Researchers have developed a new mechanism to make water droplets slip off surfaces, described in a paper published in Nature Chemistry. The discovery challenges existing ideas about friction between solid surfaces and water and opens up a new avenue for studying droplet slipperiness at the molecular level. The new technique has...

The simulated universe theory implies that our universe, with all its galaxies, planets and life forms, is a meticulously programmed computer simulation. In this scenario, the physical laws governing our reality are simply algorithms. The experiences we have are generated by the computational processes of an immensely advanced...

The title says it all, have any of you found a book on D-branes worth recommending?

Technique developed at the University of Michigan-histotripsy- provides a noninvasive alternative to surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments for cancer. Histotripsy works by using targeted ultrasound waves for killing tumor cells. Beyond tumor destruction, the technique may also activate the immune system against cancer...
