If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Perhaps not, some say. And if...
Physicists are used to dealing with some of the very weirdest forms of matter and ideas in our known world, from levitating superconducting materials to the...
Through looking at their simulated blue whirls, the researchers were able to identify that the flame was not in fact a single flame, but rather the...
