According to Newtonian physics, the gravitational attraction between two masses is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance between them – the inverse square law. However, as Most ...

Millennia ago, Aristotle asserted that nature abhors a vacuum, reasoning that objects would fly through truly empty space at impossible speeds. In 1277, the French bishop Etienne Tempier shot back, ...

Special relativity is beyond weird. Among its many statements are that moving clocks run slow and that moving rulers shrink. But how are we supposed to make sense of this? When you purchase through ...

While digital computers have become entrenched in our daily lives, a new analog quantum computer offers a stark contrast in both its design and capabilities. A team of physicists from Stanford ...

Optics and photonics are central to many aspects of our lives. Refraction, emission and absorption of light within materials govern imaging, sensing, lighting and communications. However, many of ...

With the release of mounds of unclassified Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) documents, scientists are grappling with how to understand these the objects previously known as UFOs. A new paper from ...
