  Discovery Science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Discovery Science (also known as Discovery-Based Science) is a scientific methodology which emphasizes analysis of large volumes of experimental data with the goal of finding new patterns or correlations, leading to hypothesis formation and other scientific methodologies.
Data mining is the most common tool used in Discovery Science, and is applied to data from diverse fields of study such as DNA analysis, climate modeling, nuclear reaction modeling, and others.
The use of data mining in Discovery Science follows a general trend of increasing use of computers and computational theory in all fields of science.

 Penn State Eberly College of Science -- Probable Discovery of a New, Supersolid, Phase of Matter
In the 15 January 2004 issue of the journal Nature, two physicists from Penn State University will announce their discovery of a new phase of matter, a "supersolid" form of helium-4 with the extraordinary frictionless-flow properties of a superfluid.
"The possible discovery of a new phase of matter, a supersolid, is exciting and, if confirmed, would be a significant advance," comments John Beamish, professor of physics at the University of Alberta and the author of a review of Chan's discovery published in the "News and Views" section of Nature.
The porous glass was inside a leak-tight capsule, and the helium gas became a solid when the pressure inside the capsule reached 40 times the normal atmospheric pressure.
