When a laser experiment fails to produce the expected flash of light, most researchers would assume something went wrong with ...

Nearly all stars are found inside or around galaxies, but there are ways for stars to escape into intergalactic space.

Einstein condensate with dipolar properties, pushing the boundaries of quantum control and ultracold matter research.

Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan have discovered that ribosomes actually compete with one another, and ...

Collisional excitation in reactive systems plays a central role in astrochemistry. Accurate state-to-state rate coefficients are key parameter for the determination of excitation conditions of ...

Animal-related auto collisions have decreased slightly across the United States, according to new data released by State Farm. The insurance company estimates 1.7 million auto insurance claims from ...
