A two-body correlation could help elucidate many-body phenomena, including the emergence of high-T _c superconductivity.

Model simulations of the large-scale distribution of galaxies have long suggested that galaxies form on a filamentary network of dark matter. Now gravitational lensing has yielded a look at that network.

This complex icosahedral quasicrystal forms from remarkably few types of geometrical clusters.

A unique and confusing confluence of three federal budgets triggered a torrent of position papers, letter-writing campaigns, and insider lobbying that, in the end, saved science funding for fiscal year 2007.

If solar energy is to become a practical alternative to fossil fuels, we must have efficient ways to convert photons into electricity, fuel, and heat. The need for better conversion technologies is a driving force behind many recent developments in biology, materials, and especially nanoscience.

Although the roots of medical ultrasound lie in military technology, many of the past decade's advances have come from exploiting new understandings in the physics of mammalian tissues.

Applying the techniques of nonlinear dynamics to cardiac arrhythmias sheds light on their genesis and suggests new strategies for preventing them.

Several physical assumptions go into the production of a sonogram from an ultrasound examination. When those assumptions are violated, the sonogram incorrectly images anatomical structures and blood flow.
