Physicists experimentally observe topological defects in glasses for the first time
The amorphous ... atoms form disordered structures, meaning that they do not occupy regular, well-defined positions in space. This is the opposite of what happens in crystals, whose ordered ...

Scientists Found Signs of a Hidden Structure Inside Earth's Core
These findings may explain why some experimental evidence has been inconsistent with our current models of Earth's structure. The presence of an innermost layer has been suspected before, with hints ...
