Imagine a type of matter where particles are arranged in a neat crystal pattern but can flow without friction. This peculiar state is called a supersolid, requiring particles to share a common phase ...

Nearby supernova explosions shape the interstellar medium. Ejecta, containing fresh nucleosynthetic products, may traverse the solar system as a transient passage, or alternatively, the solar system ...

Aqua-Fi would use radio waves to send data from a diver’s smart phone to a "gateway" device attached to their gear, which would send the data via a light beam to a computer at the surface that is ...
