Much of the 'memory' of the world and all our digital activities are based on media, hard disks, where the information is encoded thanks to magnetism, by orienting the spin of electrons in one ...

Since first described extensively by Charles Darwin 1,2, bending movements of nutation have been studied in monocotyledons and dicotyledons 3, in fungi, algae, or bryophytes 4,5, and in shoots and ...

THE following account of a simple experiment may be of interest to some of the readers of NATURE. The common peg-top and tee-totum are commonly referred to as affording a good example of the ...
