Protostars Can Siphon Material from Far Away

Groundbreaking study shows defects spreading through diamond faster than the speed of sound. Defects can make a material stronger or fail catastrophically. Knowing how fast they travel can help researchers understand things like earthquake ruptures, structural failures and precision manufacturing.

A Star Threw Off a Sun’s Worth of Material. And Then it Exploded!

Material would allow users to 'tune' windows to block targeted wavelengths of light
