A recent study published in The Journal of Chemical Physics has uncovered the role of dynamic disorder in jump motions that govern the dynamic slowdown of supercooled water. At lower temperatures, water molecules become trapped within stable, low-density domains, leading to increasingly slow and intermittent motion.

Australian researchers have identified a new species of ancient 'echidnapus', which exhibits platypus-like anatomy alongside echidna-like features. The discovery sheds light on the evolutionary history of monotremes, revealing six different egg-laying mammals living together in the same area over 100 million years ago.
