Magnon momentum microscopy: A new window into nanoscale spin-wave physics

An international team lead by the Max Born Institute has developed a new type of momentum microscopy to image magnons — the quanta of collectively excited spins — directly in two-dimensional reciprocal space using soft X-rays.

One rank to rule them all? No, rank metrics need to be trait-specific to fully explain hierarchies in hyena clans

Spotted hyenas live in hierarchically organised groups (clans). An individual’s dominance over another determines priority access to resources such as food or mating partners, and thus reproductive success.

Metabolism of bats during seasonal migration relies notably on burning fatty acids – similar to that of birds

Bats are the only mammals that can actively fly, enabling many species to perform seasonal migrations. In migratory birds, remaining airborne for many hours is supported by burning fatty acids, something most mammals are uncapable of.
