Three time dimensions, one space dimension: Relativity of superluminal observers in 1+3 spacetime

How would our world be viewed by observers moving faster than light in a vacuum? Such a picture would be clearly different from what we encounter every day. "We should expect to see not only phenomena that happen spontaneously, ...

Physicists find way to control detonation wave in promising new type of engine

Skoltech researchers have theoretically predicted synchronization—a kind of self-regulation—in detonation waves. The discovery could help tame this inherently chaotic process so as to stabilize combustion in a rotating ...

On icy moon Enceladus, expansion cracks let inner ocean boil out

In 2006, the Cassini spacecraft recorded geyser curtains shooting forth from "tiger stripe" fissures near the south pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus—sometimes as much as 200 kilograms of water per second. A new study suggests ...
