An Icy Gaze into the Big Bang
Scientists have reached a milestone in the exploration of quantum gas mixtures. The group led by Rudolf Grimm has succeeded in producing controlled strong interactions between two fermionic elements. This model system not only promises to provide new insights into solid-state physics but also shows intriguing analogies to the primordial substance right after the Big Bang.

The 62-mile, nine-day traffic jam in Beijing's August heat made international headlines - and an epic amount of air pollution. It's the latest demonstration of how Cornell air quality researcher Max Zhang's work could make a critical difference for people who breathe bad air every day. New research by Zhang, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, targets diesel-fueled large trucks as the biggest culprits for polluting the air in and around Beijing.

Silicon can be made to melt in reverse
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Like an ice cube on a warm day, most materials melt - that is, change from a solid to a liquid state - as they get warmer. But a few oddball materials do the reverse: They melt as they get cooler. Now a team of researchers at MIT has found that silicon, the most widely used material for computer chips and solar cells, can exhibit this strange property of 'retrograde melting' when it contains high concentrations of certain metals dissolved in it.

Sunlight spawns many binary and "divorced" binary asteroids
Over tens of millions of years, a rubble-pile asteroid less than 10 kilometers in diameter can spin up to a speed that allows the asteroid to split in two, forming a proto-binary system. If the smaller companion is less than 60 percent the size of the larger asteroid, they will gently separate from one other at a relatively low velocity.
