After escaping the Nazis by minutes and then getting smuggled through spy-infested Stockholm, the bomb bay of a British fighter jet might have been a relief to physicist Niels Bohr. His approach to ...

Andrew's love for all things automotive goes back over two decades to when he was a kid. Whether it was collecting Hot Wheels, building model cars, or going to NASCAR races with his family, he was ...

Quasicrystals couldn't be simulated with quantum mechanics because of their irregular atomic patterns. A new method overcomes this challenge. (Nanowerk News) A rare and bewildering intermediate ...
