As humanity continues its exploration of the universe, the low-gravity environment of space presents unusual challenges for scientists and engineers. Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College…
New research from Florida State University and Rice University is providing a better estimate of the amount of carbon in the Earth’s outer core, and…
Two hundred fifty-two million years ago, much of life on planet Earth was dying. In an event that marked the end of the Permian period,…
Florida State University researchers have more insight into a strange sea creature found in oceans around the world and what their presence means for the…
When a massive star dies, first there is a supernova explosion. Then, what’s left over becomes either a black hole or a neutron star. That…
Human bodies have roughly 30,000 genes dictating not only how we look, but also critical biological processes. Now, a Florida State University and Australia National…
New research from Florida State University shows that concentrations of the toxic element mercury in rivers and fjords connected to the Greenland Ice Sheet are…
Nobel laureate in physics Richard Feynman once described turbulence as “the most important unsolved problem of classical physics.” Understanding turbulence in classical fluids like water…
Using a novel technique, scientists working at the Florida State University-headquartered National High Magnetic Field Laboratory have found evidence for a quantum spin liquid, a…
Florida State University researchers have developed a new material that could be used to make flexible X-ray detectors that are less harmful to the environment…
Thank goodness for the Earth’s crust: It is, after all, that solid, outermost layer of our planet that supports everything above it. But much of…
Each of our cells is surrounded by a complex membrane that functions as a biological border, letting ions and nutrients such as salt, potassium and…
Florida State University physicists believe they have an answer to unusual incidents of rare decay of a subatomic particle called a Kaon that were reported…
The world of aerospace increasingly relies on carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites to build the structures of satellites, rockets and jet aircraft. But the life…
A Florida State University research team has developed methods to manipulate polymers in a way that changes their fundamental structure, paving the way for potential…
A Florida State University researcher has uncovered a new geophysical phenomenon where a hurricane or other strong storm can spark seismic events in the nearby…
Florida State University physicists are using photon-proton collisions to capture particles in an unexplored energy region, yielding new insights into the matter that binds parts…
Are gun owners more or less afraid than people who do not own guns? A new study from researchers at Florida State University and the…
