For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth ...

Elon Musk’s edge isn’t cars or rockets. It’s Starlink—a global communications network reshaping telecom economics and ...

A new theoretical study suggests fusion reactors could do more than generate energy, they might also produce particles linked to dark matter. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati say they have ...

Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...

Research suggests that Saturn's rings don’t end where the eye expects - specks of ring material seem to float above and below ...

Even worse, the orbit of Mars is elliptical (think of a slight oval rather than a perfect circle), which means that sometimes ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Michigan have created the world's smallest fully programmable ...

From a particle smasher encircling the moon to an “impossible” laser, five scientists reveal the experiments they would run in a world powered purely by imagination ...

Still, the first gravitationally lensed gravitational wave event is fascinating. The team estimates that if it truly was a ...

Each robot costs only a single penny to manufacture. The robots could help advance everything from nanotechnology ...

One of the oldest unsolved riddles in planetary science concerns the origin of the moon. Over a century ago, George Darwin ...

Thirty years ago, astronomers weren’t sure planets beyond our solar system even existed. This year, NASA has confirmed its ...
