A mathematical investigation of galactic data suggests elusive dark matter is confined to the rules of gravity.
Physicists finally identified why some quantum materials seemingly lose their electrical conductivity for no reason.
The natural complexity of the universe should phase out the possibility of some advanced civilization controlling reality itself, researchers argue.
Daniel Whiteson and Andy Warner’s upcoming book is a philosophical exploration of the humanity behind our desire to find aliens.
This tiny chip can withstand temperatures up to 1,500 degrees and could one day sit inside the core of a nuclear reactor, delivering critical real-time data.
The pixels are small enough to pack a 1920 by 1080 resolution into a display the size of breadcrumbs.
String theorists, this one may be for you.
The "worm-charging mechanism" of parasitic nematodes illustrates the wildest physics on the tiniest scales.
Einstein was a great thinker who made plenty of mistakes—errors that sometimes led to more meaningful discoveries in physics, long after his passing.
The footage offers an unprecedentedly colorful look at the extreme physics at play—revealing valuable information for researchers studying fusion.
The breakthrough redefines how physicists imagine engine builds.
The system, deployed for a major NATO naval exercise, adeptly handled sensitive communication sequences.
A university spinoff company has commercialized exceptionally tough wood. Our buildings and airplanes might one day be built from it.
“Ice XXI” is an entirely new phase of ice with a crystal structure that’s more complex than the ice found on Titan or Ganymede.
Using a combination of physics and machine learning, the researchers predicted how the plasma inside a tokamak reactor would behave given a set of initial conditions.
Quantum tunneling is a fascinating concept that has informed how much of today's digital technology works.
Researchers now have a clearer picture of the chemical mechanisms underlying lithium-ion batteries—and it could lead to faster, more efficient batteries for electric vehicles, portable electronics, and more.
The first reported demonstration of “unconditional” quantum advantage has little practical value—but that's perhaps why it matters.
China successfully debuted a powerful centrifuge that could support scientific pursuits across a variety of fields.
The move goes against decades of the United States' nonproliferation policy, lawmakers argue.
