Living tissues are shaped by self-propelled topological defects, biophysicists find
• With a new mathematical model, a team of biophysicists has revealed fresh insights into how biological tissues are shaped by the active motion of structural imperfections known a
Flickering glacial climate may have shaped early human evolution
• Researchers have identified a ’tipping point’ about 2.7 million years ago when global climate conditions switched from being relatively warm and stable to cold and chaotic, as co
