Mathematicians have discovered there are infinitely many infinities, each one infinitely bigger than the last. And if the universe goes on forever, the consequences are even more bizarre. In an infinite universe, there are infinitely many copies of the Earth and infinitely many copies of you. Ol...
The goal of Milkyway@Home is to use the BOINC platform to harness volunteered computing resources in creating a highly accurate three dimensional model of the Milky Way galaxy using data gathered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This project enables research in both astroinformatics and compute...
Precise mass measurement aids the hunt for heavy elements that decay slowly. Using a special trap, researchers have captured and weighed three isotopes of the superheavy element nobelium - the heaviest element so far to have its mass measured directly. The measurements are an important step towa...
