Euclid is finding free floating planets in Orion, too
There are likely millions of "rogue" or free-floating planets (FFPs) spread through the galaxy. These planets, which aren't big enough to become stars but also aren't beholden to a star's gravity, are some of the hardest objects for astronomers to sp.....»»
New study reveals brain"s fractal-like structure near phase transition, a finding that may be universal across species
When a magnet is heated up, it reaches a critical point where it loses magnetization. Called "criticality," this point of high complexity is reached when a physical object is transitioning smoothly from one phase into the next......»»
