Can we hear gravitational-wave ‘beats’ in the rhythm of pulsars?
Credit: CC0 Public Domain Pulsars suggest that ultra–low-frequency gravitational waves are rippling through the cosmos. The signal seen by international pulsar timing array collaborations in 2023 could come from a…
The viral Chicago ‘Rat Hole’ almost certainly wasn’t made by a rat
Chicago’s viral ‘Rat Hole’ is less rat splat, more squirrel squish. Researchers determined it was probably a squirrel that left a rodent-shaped impression in the concrete of the Windy City.…
Ditch the ‘shrink it and pink it’ approach to women’s running shoes, researchers say

Prehistoric megastructures reveal large-scale hunting networks
An airborne laser survey on the Karst Plateau of the Adriatic hinterland has led to the discovery of previously unknown dry-stone megastructures. The results of the study, published in the…
Neural activity helps circuit connections mature into optimal signal transmitters
A detail of a figure from the paper shows synapses formed between a neuron (above) and muscle (below) a narrow cleft. The distinct T-bar shape indicates an active zone. In…
