Stress is a very real factor in the structure of our universe. Not the kind of stress that students experience when taking a ...

"We were excited by recent discoveries that a process called magnetic reconnection heats ions 6.5 times as much as electrons, ...

An international team of researchers has developed a photonic quantum computer designed to operate in the harsh environment of space. The computer was integrated into a satellite and launched into ...

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 ...

Einstein’s theories contain calculations that lead to mind-bending predictions about the nature of space, time, and reality itself. These mathematical outcomes have redefined physics and challenged ...

A new calculation shows how five atoms interact in the Efimov effect. It marks a major leap in quantum physics. Matter behaves weirdly at the quantum scale, one of the strangest examples being the ...

One question, for instance, might be why can't we? Atoms, which are the building blocks of matter, are mostly empty space.

For decades, scientists have dismissed the idea of reactionless propulsion—the concept of generating thrust without expelling propellant—as a fantasy that defies the laws of physics. But Charles ...
