Virtual reality reveals glassfish synchronize through split-second copying of single neighbors
For centuries, scientists have been fascinated by the remarkable coordinated movements of flocking birds, swarming insects and schooling fish. Researchers have studied these natural phenomena to understand the rules of interactions between individuals that can produce complex group-level behavior. A collaboration of physicists and neurobiologists at the University of California San Diego has been studying schools of micro glassfish (Danionella cerebrum) to understand how the interactive mental processes of individual fish produce group-level decisions.

Innovative etching method for silicon: Higher precision through interlayer
In micro- and nanotechnology, highly precise components with tall, narrow structures (high aspect ratios) made from semiconductor materials like silicon are important. A promising fabrication method is gas-phase metal-assisted chemical etching (MacEtch). In this plasma-free process, a thin metal layer defines the pattern on the silicon substrate. The etching step takes place in a chemical environment, where the reaction occurs only at the interface between the metal and silicon. The metal catalyst gradually sinks into the silicon, directing the etching deeper.

How plants use scoop-shaped pores to distribute their pollen efficiently
Bees are the most important pollinators of flowering plants, and approximately 10% of flowering plants are functionally specialized for buzz pollination. Buzz pollination is a mechanism in which pollen can be extracted from flowers only through the application of mechanical vibrations. Many important crops, such as tomatoes, eggplants and blueberries, are buzz-pollinated because they conceal their pollen in so-called poricidal anthers

Ramped fields create more robust entanglement between trapped-ion qubits
While quantum computing could be the future, it is currently plagued by finicky hardware. To make the technology practical, researchers must demonstrate that it consistently and continuously works and performs at scale. In a new study, published in Physical Review Letters, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the Ion Storage Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado, created a robust process for entangling trapped-ion qubits. The result means better building blocks for ion-based quantum computers.

Test cricket: How India turn the screw against Sri Lanka
Sooriyabandara was compact against the quicks and deadly against the spinners. He swept with great effect, while Indian spinners were guilty of not bowling the right length often enough to create chances. The sweep is an effective shot when played well, but on a fourthday pitch it is not without risk. To Indias irritation, the few times when the top edge was found, the ball fell in no mans land. But this wasnt just down to luck. Sooriyabandara had worked the ball around so well that Shubman Gill was tentative with his field placings.
Permafrost thaws worldwide as active layers deepen from 2000 to 2024

Liquid gallium experiment confirms key flow regime inside rapidly rotating stars and planets
Since we cannot look into the interiors of stars and planets, we rely on lab experiments to replicate the physical processes that occur there. Led by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), an international research team has produced the first experimental verification of a theoretically predicted flow state deemed characteristic of the interiors of rapidly rotating celestial bodies. The Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) also participated in the study, which has been published in Physical Review Letters. The results provide a robust experimental basis for testing theoretical models of the processes that occur inside these celestial bodies.
