Exploring uncharted territories
The human brain has billions of neurons and trillions of connections. And despite extensive research by scientists worldwide, much of it is still puzzling. According to the BRAIN Initiative (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies), while there have been developments in neuroscience research in recent years, “the underlying causes of most of neurological and...

Nobel Prize Winner Glauber Dies at 93
Roy J. Glauber, Nobel laureate, passed away Dec. 26, 2018, at the age of 93. Glauber was awarded one-half of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his contribution to the quantum theory of optical coherence.” Glauber’s prize-winning work centered on his development of a theory that advanced the understanding of light by describing the behavior of light particles. Presented in the early 1960s, the...

Laser imaging reveals early origin of feathers
Reptiles and the earliest dinosaurs are known for their scaly skin. They had no fur, no hair, and they certainly didn’t have feathers. Go back about 230 million years, however, and you’ll find a different sort of creature. Using laser-stimulated fluorescence (LSF), a team led by Nanjing University professor Baoyu Jiang — in collaboration with researchers from the University of...
