Primitive. Simple. Advanced. Complex.
Scientists have developed a new approach for generating layered, difficult-to-combine, heterostructured solids (materials composed of layers of dissimilar building blocks), opening new avenues for electronic and energy applications. The technique for making them is simple, and counterintuitive -- it involves smashing the pristine materials to build new ones. Smashing things together by milling seems like…

Counting till the end… Numbers… Infinite… Water and fire…
Gisin, of the University of Geneva, debates the physical reality of real numbers. His main problem lies with real numbers that consist of a never-ending string of digits with no discernable pattern and that can’t be calculated by a computer. Such numbers (like π for example) contain an infinite amount of information: You could imagine…

Engraved symbols. Long gone. Deep into our heart…
Engraved stone artifacts are important clues to the history of human culture and cognition. Incisions on the cortex (soft outer layer) of flint or chert flakes are known from Middle and Lower Paleolithic sites across Europe and the Middle East. However, it can be difficult to determine the action that created an incision: was it…
