Why Antarctica sea ice retreats faster that it forms
Sea ice around Antarctica retreats more quickly than it advances, an asymmetry that’s puzzled scientists. New research suggests it’s actually pretty simple.

Why so many LGBT+ scientists leave physics
“Nearly everybody I know who is LGBT+ in physics has left, to be honest,” says Tim Atherton, coauthor of a study on exclusionary treatment in the field.
See vinegar eels in mesmerizing collective motion
Tiny vinegar eels do “the wave” in a bead of water. “This wavelike collective motion has not been seen before in any other organisms this large.”

AI and quantum computing aim to reveal what’s inside a black hole
“What is on the event horizon for a black hole? Where does it come from? Answering these questions would be a step towards realizing a quantum theory of gravity.”

Skyrmions can generate true random numbers
Skyrmions can be used to generate true random numbers useful in cryptography and probabilistic computing, report researchers.
Why ice melts in different shapes
The shape of melting ice depends a lot on water temperature, new research shows. Melting “is one of the many complexities affecting the ice on our planet.”
Cilia’s push turns sperm into super swimmers
Carpets of tiny hairs called cilia that line the inside of the fallopian tubes give sperm the extra boost they need to be super swimmers, a new study shows.
