Extra dimensions. Existence. Cosmos.
This could be the way the world ends. First, a pair of cosmic protons smash together at unimaginable speeds. The tremendous energy of their crash would create a tiny, ephemeral black hole, so small that it would last just a fraction of a second before evaporating. Where the black hole just was, a bubble of…

Built from glass…
Ever wondered how groups of cells managed to build your tissues and organs while you were just an embryo? Using state-of-the-art techniques he developed, UC Santa Barbara researcher Otger Campàs and his group have cracked this longstanding mystery, revealing the astonishing innerworkings of how embryos are physically constructed. Cells coordinate by exchanging biochemical signals, but…

Reproducibility problem.
A team co-led by Gideon Nave of Penn's Wharton School replicated 21 high-profile social science studies and found discrepancies with the original research, including eight studies that failed to find significant evidence for the original finding. Researchers betting in prediction markets, however, were quite accurate at predicting which findings would replicate and which would not.…

Humans. Universe. Blank books…
A scientist claims that we might all be the universe's alter egos. (1) You. Me. Him. Parts of the same universe. Alter egos of a cosmos which is alive. A cosmos which as we stare at it… It stares right back at us… A universe full of everything… Manifestation of life full of nothing… An…

Irregularities…
A study exploring the coupling between heat and particle currents in a gas of strongly interacting atoms highlights the fundamental role of quantum correlations in transport phenomena, breaks the revered Wiedemann-Franz law, and should open up an experimental route to testing novel ideas for thermoelectric devices. (1) Irregularities between thermal and electrical conductivity. Just an…
