Mountain lions are learning to adapt to our increasing presence in nature, which sometimes results in the depredation of domestic animals and a grim ending for both parties. "California Mountain Lions" is an eight-episode web miniseries illustrating the nature of mountain lions in California. These ...

An example of a typical device that scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory use to measure electrical resistivity as a function of temperature and magnetic field. The scientists grew the film via atomic layer-by-layer molecular beam epitaxy, patterned it into a device and wire bonded it to a ...
