BitchLucy CookeBasic Books, $30 To Charles Darwin, nature had a certain order. And in that order, males always came out on top. They were the leaders, the innovators, the wooers and the doers. “The males of almost all animals have stronger passions than the females,” Darwin wrote in 1871. “The female, on the other hand, […]
Read MoreA solitary celestial object — more massive than the sun, yet far smaller — is wandering the galaxy a few thousand light-years from Earth. It might be the first isolated stellar-mass black hole to be detected in the Milky Way. Or it might be one of the heaviest neutron stars known. The interstellar wanderer first […]

Read MoreThe unusual behavior of sulphur in Venus’ atmosphere cannot be explained by an ‘aerial’ form of extra-terrestrial life, according to a new study.
Read MoreAnyone who has seen a cat experience catnip knows that it makes them go a bit wild — they rub in it, roll on it, chew it, and lick it aggressively. It is widely accepted that this plant, and its Asian counterpart, silvervine, have intoxicative properties, but this might not be the only reason that […]

Read MoreIn a breakthrough Tokyo Tech researchers have managed to observe and characterize dynamic assembly of metallic atoms using an ingenious combination of scanning transmission electron microscopy and a video-based tracking. By visualizing short-lived molecules, such as metallic dimers and trimers, that cannot be observed using traditional methods, the researchers open up the possibility of observing […]
Read MoreResearchers led by Prof. Huang Qing from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have recently proved the important role of singlet oxygen (1O2), a kind of reactive oxygen species (ROS), in synergistic antimicrobial mechanisms when studying the fungicide mechanism of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP). Results were published […]
Read MoreThis paper will be a window into a world that most of us synthetic organic chemists haven’t explored very much: the deliberate optimization of what are delicately called “energetic materials”, aka explosives. Now, a lot of us have had things go up on us, that’s for sure, but most of the time it’s a surprise. […]
