Vem vill inte låna grejor gratis? Men faktum är att det är bättre att betala för sig. I så fall blir det bättre fart på delningsekonomin, vilket alla tjänar på i längden. Det har matematiker vid Carnegie Melon University i Pennsylvania, USA, nu matematiskt bevisat efter att ha räknat ut vilken påverkan på samhället olika

After some serious number crunching, a researcher says that he has come up with a mathematical model for a viable time machine: a Traversable Acausal Retrograde Domain in Space-time (TARDIS). He describes it as a bubble of space-time geometry which carries its contents backward and forwards through space and time as it tours a large

As increasing attention is paid to preparing students to succeed in school, the development and adoption of research-based curricula have become progressively more important. However, many curricular designs lack a basis in scientific evidence; research and curricular design are frequently treated as two separate enterprises. »»» Läs vidare [Teachers College Record]
