Molecular Machine Paper Ignores Evolution

Another paper shows that evolutionary storytelling is neither necessary or useful when investigating molecular machines.

Ode to the Amazing Atom

Space pioneer Henry Richter (PhD Chemistry, Caltech), explores the designed intricacies of the building blocks of the universe.

May the Weak Force Be With You

We couldn't live without the weak force, the least understood and underappreciated natural force.

Can Radioactive Decay Constants Vary?

Three physicists claim to see cyclical variations in beta decay rates of two elements correlated with solar neutrino flux.
