Author and St. Olaf alumna '77 recently returned to campus to read from her new book, The Sorrows of an American. She set aside a few minutes during her visit to answer questions about book tours, living in New York
We carry out three-dimensional MHD simulations of star formation in turbulent, magnetized clouds, including ambipolar diffusion and feedback from protostellar outflows.

We point out that a conventional construction placed upon observations of accreting black holes, in which their nonthermal X-ray spectra are produced by inverse comptonization in a coronal plasma, suggests that the plasma is marginally collisionless.
We demonstrate that the formation of collapsing cores in subcritical clouds is accelerated by nonlinear flows, by performing three-dimensional non-ideal MHD simulations.
For years, researchers collaborating on a long running experiment have been baffled by a relatively simple machine that just churns out random numbers, 1s or 0s. The baffling part is, this machine starts gong pretty wild right before major human
A rather interesting architectural concept has just been "turned on" as three large wind turbines built between two airfoil shaped halves of a new trade center in Bahrain went into electrical production. They are expected to provide around 15% of
From BBC News: "Archaeologists are hoping to unearth evidence of what they believe to have been one of Bronze Age Britain's largest axe-making "factories". Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust (CPAT) said the axes, made from a distinctive type rock - known as
Unfortunately Gordon Hillman has pulled out due to ongoing illness, but this has opened up some slots for Indiana Jones style archaeologist - Semir Sam Osmanagich, who discovered the complex of pyramids, megaliths and temples in central Bosnia. We also
U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar will visit St. Olaf College on Saturday, May 3, to participate in a discussion with faculty and students on climate change initiatives in Congress and on the nation's campuses.
