Classical Novae are Responsible for Lithium Produced in the Milky Galaxy

Combining theory with both laboratory studies and observations, a research team led by Sumner Starrfield, an astrophysicist from Arizona State University, has determined that a type of stellar explosions, known as classical novae, is the cause for a major portion of lithium in the solar system and the Milky Way galaxy.

Computer Simulations Reveal Corkscrew-Shaped Mechanism in Quantum Fluids

If a drop of creamer falls from a spoon into a swirling cup of coffee, the whirlpool drags the drop into rotation. But what would happen if the coffee had no friction -- no way to pull the drop into a synchronized spin-

Study Reveals Unexpected Links Between Spin Directions of Galaxies

An analysis of more than 200,000 spiral galaxies has revealed unexpected links between spin directions of galaxies, and the structure formed by these links might suggest that the early universe could have been spinning, according to a Kansas State University study.

New Insights into Active Spinner Materials with Reconfigurable Structure and Tunable Functionalities

At the atomic level, a glass of water and a spoonful of crystalline salt couldn't look more different. Water atoms move around freely and randomly, while salt crystals are locked in place in a lattice.
