Glass Could Be a Mysterious New State of Matter
The mysterious new phase of matter that could show how glass behaves New research solves a long-standing mystery about glass—and a mysterious new state of matter. Zoom in on a crystal and you will find an ordered array of atoms, … Continue reading
Scientists Create A New Kind Of Matter: Time Crystals
Hoarfrost is a sort of ice crystal product of water. Researchers found time crystals, that are repetitive patterns that may transfer and not using a supply of power Physicists repeatedly tweaked a gaggle of ions to create first instance of … Continue reading
Pacific carbon cycling constrained by organic matter size, age and composition relationships
Nature Geoscience 9, 888 (2016). doi:10.1038/ngeo2830 Authors: Brett D. Walker, Steven R. Beaupré, Thomas P. Guilderson, Matthew D. McCarthy & Ellen R. M. Druffel Marine organic matter is one of Earth’s largest actively cycling reservoirs of organic carbon and nitrogen. The processes controlling organic matter production … Continue reading

Carbon cycle: Ocean dissolved organics matter
Nature Geoscience 9, 864 (2016). doi:10.1038/ngeo2841 Author: Rainer M. W. Amon Large quantities of organic carbon are stored in the ocean, but its biogeochemical behaviour is elusive. Size–age–composition relations now quantify the production of tiny organic molecules as a major … Continue reading
Scientists have discovered a new state of matter, called ‘Jahn-Teller metals’
A magnet levitating above a super-chilled superconductor.sach1tb on Flickr And it could be the key to understanding one of the biggest mysteries in physics today – high-temperature superconductors. An international team of scientists has announced the discovery of a new … Continue reading
Radioactive matter migrates more quickly through fractured carbonate rock
Natural radioactivity from uranium-bearing rock, N Saskatchewan. ( Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have found that radioactive matter migrates more quickly in carbonate bedrock formations once it has leaked from a tank from near surface waste sites … Continue reading
The map of ‘dark matter’ DNA
(ANSA) – Rome, September 6 – here is the map of ‘dark matter’ of biology: DNA called trash, which for decades had been assigned to this tag in the belief of its uselessness ‘, turns out to be a real … Continue reading
