Using the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), astronomers from China have detected nine new unevolved stars. The newly found stars exhibit an unusually high abundance of lithium. The finding ...
Quantum entanglement—or what Albert Einstein once referred to as "spooky action at a distance"— occurs when two quantum particles are connected to each other, even when millions of miles apart. Any observation of one ...
