Experiments Show The Effects of a Fourth Spatial Dimension
http://www.sciencealert.com/experiments-...-dimension

EXCERPT: . . . In other words, just as a 3D object casts a 2D shadow, scientists have managed to observe a 3D shadow potentially cast by a 4D object – even if we can't actually see the 4D object itself. That could unlock some new findings in the very fundamentals of science. Thanks to some rather advanced calculations – which won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2016 – we know that the quantum Hall effect points to the existence of a fourth spatial dimension. What these new experiments do is give us a picture of the effects that this fourth dimension might have....

It's Scientifically Possible to Boil Water Until It Freezes Solid
http://www.sciencealert.com/you-can-actu...it-freezes

EXCERPT: If you feel like having one of your fundamental beliefs thrown out the window, try this on for size - under the right conditions, you can boil water until it freezes solid. Yep, as the Cody's Lab video above demonstrates, after a few minutes of boiling, water starts to form solid ice crystals, and is actually cold to the touch. Crazy, right? So what's going on here? First, let's run through the set-up, because under normal circumstances, you're not going to be boiling anything frozen any time soon, so put that kettle away. As the video explains...

Maryam Mirzakhani: Remembering a brilliant mathematician who inspired a world of possibilities
http://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2018-...ed/9240684

EXCERPT: . . . One of the four brilliant mathematicians who were awarded Fields medals at the 2014 ICM was Maryam Mirzakhani, who was born and educated in Iran, and completed a PhD in mathematics at Harvard University. Behind that brief outline, there was an exceptional person with an astonishing history. [...] Most research mathematicians spend their working lives as highly accomplished technical specialists working within one subfield of mathematics, much like a performer might interpret and play glorious music on just one instrument. Maryam's best results were breathtaking because they transcended the conventional boundaries of mathematics and provided unexpected insights into other areas....
