The Solar System will soon be abandoned b the warm cloud of atomic hydrogen that surrounds our heliosphere.

New studies indicate that the Arctic Ocean's ice cover is about 40% thinner than it was 20 to 40 years ago, and the area of its perennial ice could be shrinking at a rate of about 7% per decade.

A closer look at quantum computation experiments in liquid‐state nuclear magnetic resonance raises questions about what's really going on.

A panel o f particle physicists has examined concerns that high‐energy collisions of gold nuclei might trigger the formation of black holes, vacuum instabilities, or voracious strangelets.

E. coli, a self‐replicating object only a thousandth of a millimeter in size, can swim 35 diameters a second, taste simple chemicals in its environment, and decide whether life is getting better or worse.

By compensating for the minor, as well as the major, defects in the eye's optics, we can look through the lens to observe retinal features the size of single cells.

Quantum physics holds the key to the further advance of computing in the postsilicon era.
