Icy impacts: Planetary scientists use physics and images of impact craters to gauge the thickness of ice on Europa
Sometimes planetary physics is like being in a snowball fight. Most people, if handed an already-formed snowball, can use their experience and the feel of the ball to guess what kind of snow it is comprised of: packable and fluffy, or wet and icy. Using nearly the same principles, planetary scientists have been able to study the structure of Europa, Jupiter’s icy moon.
Deciphering Neural Integration: An Exploration of Bilateral Perception
Scott Pluta, Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences, immerses himself in the complexities of neural integration. His research delves into the intricate interplay between the brain's hemispheres during bimanual tasks, challenging conventional assumptions and offering fresh insights into the dynamic nature of neural connectivity and function.
