Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional waves generated by earthquakes travel roughly 3 to 4 percent faster along Earth ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

Astronomers combined data from NASA’s JWST and Chandra X-ray Observatory to create a stunning new image of two merging spiral ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

Deep beneath our feet, far beyond the reach of drills or submersibles, Earth hides a solid metal heart that behaves in ways geophysicists have struggled to explain. New experiments now suggest that a ...

Earth’s inner core has long puzzled scientists because seismic waves move through it unevenly. Compressional waves from ...

TL;DR: This experiment may not revolutionize telecommunications, but it highlights how accessible these concepts have become outside traditional research labs. Using nothing more than an iPad, a solar ...

Within the 3D structure of proteinase K, scientists are able to see details of sulphur and calcium atoms within the protein structure, highlighted in yellow. Since their discovery 125 years ago, ...

While classical physics separated natural phenomena into distinct wave and particle categories (light as waves and matter as particles) quantum behavior transcends these distinctions, revealing that ...
