Scientists found frozen magma scars deep inside the Ontong Java Plateau, the world's largest underwater plateau, revealing how it was really built.
Jul 11 PhysicsScientists Recreate Physics' Problem of Time in a Lab
Physicists trapped 24,000 atoms colder than deep space to test the problem of time, and built a clock that runs on entropy alone, not seconds.
Jul 9 BiologyMagnon Lifetime Jumps 100-Fold, Boosting Quantum Computing
A magnetic wave once vanished in nanoseconds. Cooled near absolute zero, its magnon lifetime now stretches to 18 microseconds, aiding quantum computing.
Jul 3 BiologyDinosaur Egg Incubation Wasn't as Cozy as You'd Think
A life-size dinosaur model reveals how oviraptorid dinosaur egg incubation really worked, and why it fell far short of how birds warm their eggs today.
