The Nobel Prize in Physics, received on the 10th of December by François Englert and Peter Higgs in Stockholm, Sweden, has a Mexican essence. Higgs boson, the elemental particle that gives mass to matter, required to demonstrate its existence, and this was achieved by an international team of which...

A new study exposes the organizational underpinnings and funding behind the powerful climate change counter movement. This study marks the first peer-reviewed, comprehensive analysis ever conducted of the sources of funding that maintain the denial effort. Fuente :...

A team of material scientists, chemical engineers and physicists has made another advance in their effort to use liquid crystals as a medium for assembling structures. Their earlier studies produced patterns of "defects," useful disruptions in the repeating patterns found in liquid crystals, in...

Those looking for honest companies to invest in might want to check out businesses based in more religious communities, suggests a new paper. The study found that businesses with head offices in places with high levels of "religiosity" were less likely to experience stock price crashes as a result...
