A team of researchers working at Stanford University has used time dilation in an atomic fountain to measure the curvature of space-time. In their study, reported in the journal Science, the group ...

Shakespeare famously portrayed England's medieval King Richard III as a hunchback, but the discerning eye of modern technology has just cast doubt on the accuracy of this literary description. In ...

The spine, or backbone, is made up of small bones (vertebrae) stacked -- along with discs -- one on top of another. A healthy spine, when viewed from the side, has gentle curves to it. The curves help ...

Cells in your body cannot see, but they can feel their surroundings and their own shape. Scientists now showed via both - experiments and theory - how cells can sense the curvature of tissue around ...

The phenomenon of flow curvature has been introduced into the aerodynamic freevortex model initially developed by Strickland for vertical axis wind turbines with straight blades. By comparing the ...

Simple relative curvature measures of nonlinearity are developed to measure the extent of the nonlinearity in a model-experimental design-parameterization combination. We review the geometric aspects ...

A new study claims performing a single yoga pose for 90 seconds for at least 3 days a week could reduce spine curvature in patients with scoliosis in as little as 3 months. Share on Pinterest Patients ...

This week's Seafloor Sunday image is a nice perspective image showing the eastern U.S., Caribbean, northeast South America, and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge from NOAA's Environmental Visualization ...
