Medium-sized black holes eat stars "like messy toddlers," says new study
If they exist, intermediate-mass black holes likely devour wayward stars like a messy toddler—taking a few bites and then flinging the remains across the galaxy—a new Northwestern University-led study has found......»»
Understanding the origin of matter with the CUORE experiment
There is so much that we do not yet know about neutrinos. Neutrinos are very light, chargeless, and elusive particles that are involved in a process called beta decay. Understanding this process may reveal the origin of matter in the universe......»»
Does the world really need another chair?
If the most sustainable buildings are the ones that already exist, then the most sustainable chairs are the ones that already exist too. The Thonet chair. The Wassily Chair. The Eames Lounge Chair. These chairs have gone down in history as design ic.....»»
Researchers image magnetic behavior at the smallest scales to date
Permanent magnets, the kind found on refrigerators everywhere, exist because their constituent atoms behave as miniature magnets. They align and combine to form the larger magnet in a phenomenon called ferromagnetism. There are some materials where t.....»»
