A 50-year-old puzzle in statistical mechanics has been solved by an international team of researchers who have proved that two-dimensional (2D) liquids have fundamentally different…
Rice engineers find overabundance of intentional defects can cause battery cathodes to fail. Intentional defects in batteries have given Rice University scientists a window into…
How small are the smallest celestial objects that form like stars, but don’t produce their own light? How common are they compared to full-fledged stars?…
Age-related changes to the cartilaginous tissue of the spine could invite painful nerve growth, say researchers. In experiments with genetically engineered and old mice, Johns…
A new method determines whether circuits are accurately executing complex operations that classical computers can’t tackle. In a step toward practical quantum computing, researchers from…
Flame Retardants and Pesticides Overtake Heavy Metals As Biggest Contributors to IQ Loss Adverse outcomes from childhood exposures to lead and mercury are on the…
The ancient stardust reveals a “baby boom” in star formation. Stars have life cycles. They’re born when bits of dust and gas floating through space…
Scientists, including those from the University of Colorado Boulder, have finally scaled the solar system’s equivalent of the Rocky Mountain range. In a study published…
Stars need to be in binary systems to create gamma-ray bursts, University of Warwick study finds Gamma-ray bursts are the Universe’s brightest explosions, caused by…
