Lithospheric oddities may be sculpting continental interiors
Interactions between neighboring tectonic plates can push parts of Earth's surface up or down to form notable features, such as the Andes and the Himalayas. The forces that sculpt the Earth's surface far from plate edges are less well understood. For.....»»
Researchers use random numbers to precisely describe the warm dense hydrogen found in some planet interiors
Discovering the properties of quantum systems that are made of many interacting particles is still a huge challenge. While the underlying mathematical equations have been long known, they are too complex to be solved in practice. Breaking that barrie.....»»
