The motion of particles in a classical gas is famously chaotic. A simple and common consequence of this chaos is that an enclosed gas equilibrates to a single temperature, which is why letting cold ...

Before the evolution of legs from fins, the axial skeleton — including the bones of the head, neck, back and ribs — was already going through changes that would eventually help our ancestors support ...

*Listed internships are as self-reported by students on the Forensic Science Program Exit Survey. Year indicates the year the information was received by the program on the Exit Survey; the vast ...

About one-third of the food eaten by Americans comes from crops pollinated by honey bees, yet the insect is dying off at alarming rates. In one year alone, between April of 2019 and April of 2020, one ...

A new process by Penn State chemists improves how we extract and separate rare earth elements, including from unconventional sources.
