Alcohol? Male bravado? Too many knives? Here's what researchers think contributed to a major crime problem at the prestigious British university during the Middle Ages.The Middle Ages were a deadly time to be a student at the University of Oxford—they were roughly three times more likely to commit murder or be brutally murdered than other residents of the medieval English city.This startling statistic, based on legal records from the period, was likely due to the large number of young, single male students and the ubiquity of deadly weapons, alcohol, and sex workers, say researchers.This...…Alcohol?

Rather, it would be a quasiparticle that emerges from the collective behavior of a material only when conditions are right. In the new study, those conditions were observed in sheets of a semi-metallic crystal that exhibited some strange electro-magnetic...…Live Science is supported by its audience.
