Pyramid Nuclei
(Preview)
French physicists believe they can solve the mystery behind dozens of nuclear experiments conducted years ago. The experiments, conducted with a variety of detectors, energies, and colliding nuclear species, left puzzling results, so puzzling and hard to interpret that many of the experiment...

Minimal surfaces
(Preview)
For most people, soap bubbles are little more than ethereal, ephemeral childhood amusements, or a bit of kitsch associated with the Lawrence Welk Show.
But for Johns Hopkins University mathematician William Minicozzi, the translucent film that automatically arranges itself into the leas...

Crystalline Carbon Dioxide
(Preview)
Scientists in Italy have discovered that carbon dioxide can form a glass, the British journal Nature reports on Thursday.
Under extremely high pressures of up to half a million atmospheres, molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) form a glassy crystalline solid, they found.
Carbon is a member of...

New Form of Iron
(Preview)
CHEMISTS FORGE A NEW FORM OF IRON
An international team of chemists has discovered a new and unexpected form of iron, a finding that adds to the fundamental understanding of an element that is among the most abundant on Earth and that, in nature, is an essential catalyst for life.
"[i...

Laser Enrichment
(Preview)
Nuclear power could become significantly cheaper thanks to world-leading laser technology being developed in Sydney.
A team of about 25 scientists, engineers and technicians at Lucas Heights, home of Australia's only atomic reactor, has succeeded where other nations, with budgets stret...

Smallest Gold Cage
(Preview)
Scientists have uncovered a class of gold atom clusters that are the first known metallic hollow equivalents of the famous hollow carbon fullerenes known as buckyballs.
The evidence for what their discoverers call “hollow golden cages” appeared today in the online early edition of the Proce...

Nanowire Detector
(Preview)
MIT researchers have developed a tiny light detector that may allow for super-fast broadband communications over interplanetary distances. Currently, even still images from other planets are difficult to retrieve.
"It can take hours with the existing wireless radio frequency techno...

Z machine
(Preview)
The Z machine is the largest X-ray generator in the world and is designed to test materials in conditions of extreme temperature and pressure.
Recently a temperature of 2 to 3 billion degrees Kelvin -- hotter than the interior of any known star -- has been achieved in the lab in New Mexico.

Mangled universe
(Preview)
According to a new analysis of the Everett (Many-Worlds) interpretation of quantum theory, our universe may one day be assimilated by a larger universe.
Alternative universes that some theorists think may exist in parallel to our universe could interact, and could ultimately destroy it.
