A newly developed nano-sized electronic device is an important step toward
helping astronomers see invisible light dating from the creation of the
universe. This invisible light makes up 98% of the light emitted since the “big
bang,” and...

The method to the madness of quasicrystals has been a mystery
to scientists. Quasicrystals are solids whose atoms aren't arranged in a
repeating pattern, as they are in ordinary crystals. Yet they form intricate
patterns...
