The Hiroshima Atomic Bombing Birthed a Strange, Never-Before-Seen Material, According to a New Study

The devastating blast vaporized buildings, metal, glass, soil and water. When the substances cooled and condensed, the process created spherical glassy grains—and some of them seem to contain a previously unknown metal alloy

Slow spin could explain why planets become hellish

Hundreds of Venus-like planets could soon help determine why some worlds become sweltering greenhouse hellscapes while others remain capable of supporting life. But before answering that question, scientists first need to know how fast those planets are spinning.

Quantum principle allows heat to flow from cold to hot

Quantum principle allows heat to flow from cold to hot

Heat flows from hot objects to cold objects – or does it? Although unidirectional heat flow is a natural consequence of the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy must either increase or stay the same, an international team has experimentally demonstrated that a quantum mechanism can reverse this flow of heat while…
