The Milky Way’s Mid-section is Full of Relic-like Stars

SPACE The oldest stars in our galaxy are being studied. Astronomers have gazed into our galaxy and have found some of the oldest stars recorded to date. In a study to be published in the April 2019 issue of the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, researchers analyzed a cluster of old, dim stars called HP1, located about 21,500 light-years away from Earth in the gut of our galaxy's central bulge.

A Liquid Metal with T-1000-like Properties Has Been Created

Chinese researchers create a new metal composite that can be manipulated by magnets. Researchers in China have created a Terminator-like liquid metal that has the ability to stretch horizontally and vertically, as well as change shapes.

It's spring already? Physics explains why time flies as we age

A slowdown in image processing speeds up our perception of time passing as we age DURHAM, N. C. -- A Duke University researcher has a new explanation for why those endless days of childhood seemed to last so much longer than they do now--physics.

The best topological conductor yet: Spiraling crystal is the key to exotic discovery

X-ray research at Berkeley Lab reveals samples are a new state of matter The realization of so-called topological materials - which exhibit exotic, defect-resistant properties and are expected to have applications in electronics, optics, quantum computing, and other fields - has opened up a new realm in materials discovery.

Money: Creation and Manufacturing Explained

There's not a single pulp of wood in the US dollar. Whether we choose to admit it or not, money is the single most important element in life. Without money you couldn't eat, you would have no home, no clothes and sadly, very few friends.

Levitating objects with light

Nanoscale patterning could enable precise manipulation of objects on many scales Researchers at Caltech have designed a way to levitate and propel objects using only light, by creating specific nanoscale patterning on the objects' surfaces.
