As you travel your usual route to work or the grocery store, your brain engages cognitive maps stored in your hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. These maps store information about paths you have taken and locations you have been to before, so you can navigate whenever you go there. New research from MIT has found that such mental maps also are created and activated when you merely think ab

Stainless steel owes its popularity to the metal chromium, which reacts with oxygen to form a protective layer. Scientists and engineers now aim to design alloys that withstand extreme environments, such as those in nuclear fusion reactors and high-temperature jet engines. They are experimenting with multi-principal element alloys or medium- to high-entropy alloys. These alloys combine many meta

What scientists previously thought about where Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) come from is just the tip of the iceberg, according to new research led by astronomers at the University of Toronto. The mysteries of the millisecond-long cosmic explosions are unfolding with a new way of analyzing data from the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME). Published today in The Astrophysica

As long as humans have been traveling into space, astronauts have experienced significant health effects from the extreme conditions of space flight, notably the reduction of gravity. Two Buck scientists led a team that has revealed for the first time how the lack of gravity affects the cells of the immune system at single cell resolution. As co-senior authors, along with Christopher E. Ma
