Not All Gravitational Waves Are Created Equal The LIGO experiment hunts for gravitational waves that are different from those sought by BICEP2. Although both types are elusive, they differ in age and strength—and come from very different places By Clara Moskowitz on January 14, 2016 The LIGO Hanford Observatory in Washington State. LIGO In physics circles a … Continue reading Not All Gravitational Waves Are Created Equal

Antimatter, the discovery in 1932
Physicists began speculating in the late 19th century that there may exist particles and matter that are exact opposites of the matter that surrounds us, mirror-image anti-atoms and perhaps even whole anti-solar systems where matter and antimatter might meet and annihilate one another. But on this day in 1932, American physicist Carl Anderson discovered the first … Continue reading Antimatter, the discovery in 1932

Self-Healing Concrete
http://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/with-this-self-healing-concrete-buildings-repair-themselves-180955474/?no-ist Concrete often develops micro-cracks during the construction process, explains Jonkers. These tiny cracks don’t immediately affect the building’s structural integrity, but they can lead to leakage problems. Leakage can eventually corrode the concrete’s steel reinforcements, which can ultimately cause a collapse. Concrete production accounts for a massive 5 percent of the world’s carbon emissions, and global demand … Continue reading Self-Healing Concrete
