Sandia experiments may force revision of astrophysical models of the universe
March 15, 2012 •  ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The idea of compressing water is foreign to our daily experience. Nevertheless, an accurate estimate of water’s shrinking volume under the huge gravitational pressures of  large planets is essential to astrophysicists trying to model the evolution of the universe. They need to assume how much space is...
