Numerous scientific discoveries were made by accident. Sometimes, the findings even crossed into a different field other than the one scientists were exploring. The XENON collaboration is formed by an ...

The Sun is changing the supposedly constant rates of decay of radioactive elements, and we have absolutely no idea why. But an entirely unknown particle could be behind it. Plus, this discovery could ...

For high-voltage lithium batteries using layered transition metal oxide cathodes, the chemical degradation of the battery's electrolytes results in rapid decay of its capacity, which poses substantial ...

WITH regard to projected research by Miller, Spratley and Pimentel on the synthesis of helium compounds, for example, and in particular the ingenious experiment based on the β-decay of tritiated ...
