The existence of Dark Matter particles in the Sun's interior seems inevitable, despite dark matter never having been observed (there or elsewhere), despite…
Behind every coincidence lies a plan – in the world of classical physics, at least. In principle, every event, including the fall of dice or the outcome of a…
X-rays are the medium of choice for many scientific studies. When you shine them on a sample, they literally shed light on the material’s structure, providing…
Published in this week’s issue of Nature,* the new research raises several intriguing questions about the fundamental physics of this exciting material and…
Seven years ago Northwestern University physicist Adilson E. Motter conjectured that the expansion of the universe at the time of the big bang was highly…
Now that astronomers are finding rocky worlds orbiting distant stars, they're asking the next logical questions: Do any of those worlds have volcanoes? And if…
