Quirky backyard sprinklers helped scientists solve a decades-old mystery about how flowing water makes objects spin.

University of Chicago mathematics Prof. Yu Deng has received the Fields Medal for his contributions toward placing the laws ...

At the center of the Centaurus galaxy cluster, there is a large elliptical galaxy called NGC 4696. Deeper still, there is a supermassive black hole buried within the core of this galaxy. New data from ...

Neither matter nor force, paraparticles would be something else entirely. Fresh hints that they exist are raising hopes that ...

Scientists made a breakthrough discovery about the physics of Hawking radiation by making a miniature black hole out of light in the laboratory.

The European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope has discovered 31 of the most distant known quasars dating back to the earliest chapters in cosmic history, including the two most ancient quasars ...

The streaming giant's research team dropped a model that doesn't just remove objects from video. It understands what happens next. Video editing has always had a dirty secret: removing an object from ...

Why do falling cats always seem to land on their feet? Scientists have been arguing about the precise mechanism for a very long time—since at least 1700, in fact—conducting all manner of experiments ...

A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account the laws of physics—using Newton's third law. Their research is published ...

For a long, long time physicists treated this interaction as a cosmic impossibility — a mathematical dead end so absolute it was taught almost with the certainty of Newton's laws and the elegance of ...
