Researchers used portable EEG to study social interactions in real-life settings like classrooms and museums, finding that brain synchrony increases with group cohesion and empathy. The studies also showed that eye contact at the beginning of an interaction can influence subsequent brain activity.
Tropical Cyclone Debbie has formed and strengthened in the Southern Pacific Ocean, threatening eastern Queensland, Australia. Powerful thunderstorms have developed around the center of circulation, with cloud top temperatures as cold as minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit, indicating strong uplift and heavy rain potential.
A team of palaeontologists has discovered an unprecedented 21 different types of dinosaur tracks on the Dampier Peninsula coastline. The diversity of these tracks makes the area globally unparalleled and provides a unique glimpse into Australia's dinosaur fauna during the Early Cretaceous Period.
The study identified correlations between gene data and brain activity during memory processing, providing new insights into human memory. The researchers found that certain genes are distinct from those previously correlated with other types of cognitive processing and resting state fMRI activity.
Weyl semimetal TaAs crystals exhibit zero bias conductance peak and double conductance peaks upon PtIr tip contact, indicating unconventional superconductivity. The study opens a new method to induce potential topological superconductivity on non-superconducting materials.
