…and soaring birds. Wildlife biologists have been deploying miniaturized biotelemetry devices to track the 3D movements of wild animals for decades, yet only very recently have they been able to investigate the full 3D nature of these ecological ‘Big Data’ because of limitations in mathematical methods and the high computing…

Understanding the control of cell growth has challenged biomedical researchers for decades. Efforts to meet this challenge may have received an encouraging boost, however, from University of California San Diego physics professor Terence Hwa and colleagues. Their research, published in the Oct. 25 issue of Nature, led to the surprising…
