Researchers find using certain stir bars can create laboratory errors
The stirrers that mix cream into your coffee probably don't make much difference to the drink. But in a chemistry lab, it turns out...
Dark matter experiment finds no evidence of axions
Physicists from MIT and elsewhere have performed the first run of a new experiment to detect axions — hypothetical particles that are predicted to...
When slithering snakes behave like light waves
Desert snakes slithering across the sand at night can encounter obstacles such as plants or twigs that alter the direction of their travel. While...
Researchers confirm massive hyper-runaway star ejected from the Milky Way Disk
