Sharon Glotzer’s Deep Curiosity About Order From Chaos
...of the Skocpol group was to design a flange for a sputtering chamber. To design, like, where do you put the holes for the electron guns, so you could sputter...
Squishy Neutron Star Setback Dampens Hopes of Exotic Matter
...it occurs at all — might not happen until close to the point where neutron stars collapse into black holes. (The precise dividing line isn’t known exactly but is believed...
Beyond the Second Law
...some are abstract and mathematical. Some describe high-energy particles, like those smashed together at CERN; one describes chaos in black holes; and one describes the universe’s expansion. Experimentalists have tested...
Pioneering Quantum Physicists Win Nobel Prize in Physics
...for their studies of black holes. Half of the 2019 Nobel went to the astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz for their 1995 discovery of a Jupiter-like planet orbiting a...
The Year in Math
...and long ones — a 912-page paper showing that slowly rotating black holes are going to keep on slowly rotating until the end of time. Some mathematical results can be...
Dinosaur Bone Study Reveals That Not All Giants Grew Alike
...like D’Emic’s start to open that black box. Breaking Bones Bones contain secrets about an animal’s life history. Holes left behind by long-gone blood vessels can reveal a creature’s metabolic...
Are There Reasons to Believe in a Multiverse?
...form in reasonable ways without creating black holes, for example. So you can imagine rules in which there are special values of the Higgs mass, which could be extraordinarily fine-tuned....
The Deep Link Equating Math Proofs and Computer Programs
...helical structure of DNA, for example, or the existence of black holes. However, some revelations are profound because they show that two old concepts, once thought distinct, are in fact...
Dogged Dark Matter Hunters Find New Hiding Places to Check
...play. Some theoretical physicists are reconsidering a long-sidelined idea that this invisible matter might take the form of primordial black holes created during the Big Bang. One more possibility is...
