Monster Galaxies Lose Their Appetite With Age
Our universe is filled with
gobs of galaxies, bound
together by gravity into
larger families called
clusters. Lying at the heart
of most clusters is a

When Galaxies Switch Off: Hubble's COSMOS Survey Solves 'Quenched' Galaxy Mystery
Some galaxies hit a point in
their lives when their star
formation is snuffed out,
and they become "quenched".
Quenched galaxies in the

How Does Hydrogen Metallize?
July 29, 2013 — Hydrogen is deceptively simple. It has only a single electron per atom, but it powers the sun and forms the majority of the observed universe. As such, it is naturally exposed to the entire range of ... > full story -
Like Water for Batteries: Water 'Likeability' Plays Role in Battery-Charged Objects
July 29, 2013 — Objects made from graphite -- such as lithium-ion batteries -- are "hydrophobic," meaning that they "dislike" water. For decades this lack of likeability has presented significant challenges in terms ... > full story -
