Stars are born when giant clouds of gas and dust collapse. Whenever one of the collapsing regions becomes hot and dense enough for nuclear fusion to set in, a…
Today, many emergencies while drilling are connected with rock instability. Collapse leads to large time and financial expenses.
Engineers at the University of Maryland (UMD) have created the first 3D-printed fluid circuit element so tiny that 10 could rest on the width of a human hair.
Today, slates, i.e. slate blackboards, and slate pencils, which were used by generations of schoolchildren up to the last century, have usually survived merely…
Small infections can be fatal: Millions of people die each year from sepsis, an overreaction of the immune system. A new immune signaling molecule, designed by…
Just as plastic tips protect the ends of shoelaces and keep them from fraying when we tie them, molecular tips called telomeres protect the ends of chromosomes…
