LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, has been called the most precise ruler in the world for its ability to measure motions more than 10,000 times smaller than the width
New research suggests the interior of Mars is far messier than scientists once believed. Instead of neat, layered structures, perhaps resembling a smooth slice of Millionaire’s Shortbread, Mars’ mantle is
