Fjords form when ice sheets gouge out a valley below sea level - but what makes the ice bite so deep? Mark Kessler of the University of Colorado at Boulder and his colleagues now reckon the process is simpler than that. This ...
YOU might think a clock with an accuracy of 1 second in 60 million years would be tough to beat. Yet atomic clocks using lattices of strontium atoms are poised to do just that, so becoming the gold standard for timekeeping. The ...
Astronomers have captured the strongest evidence yet that the growth of high-mass stars occurs by the rapid absorption of hot gas and not by the collision of several smaller stars. To complete the trifecta the team directed the Very Large Array at ...
