A team led by Justin Crepp has discovered HD 4747 B, a rare brown dwarf. As a new mass, age and metallicity benchmark, HD 4747 B will serve as a laboratory for precision astrophysics to test ...

For decades, many scientists have criticized string theory, pointing out that it does not make predictions by which it can be tested. Now, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University; the University of ...

Nanomechanical testing of nanostructures like MWCNTs, nanowires, and thin films, is quite challenging. At Northwestern Engineering we have developed the first nanomaterial testing systems (N-MTS) ...

A five-year “adversarial collaboration” of consciousness theorists led to a stagy showdown in front of an audience. It crowned no winners — but it can still claim progress. Science routinely puts ...
