High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is the only experimental technique to directly watch proteins in dynamic action.

A theoretical study suggests that gravity could have quantum effects without itself being a quantum theory. Other researchers ...

Einstein was a great thinker who made plenty of mistakes—errors that sometimes led to more meaningful discoveries in physics, ...

If these knots had a slight bias toward matter over antimatter, their unraveling could help explain the matter-antimatter ...

Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are fascinating states of matter that emerge when atoms or molecules are cooled to extremely ...

These incredible animals seem to defy the laws of physics with the way they transcend time and space, and we are amazed.

In 1957 a group of the titans of physics gathered in a lecture hall at Princeton University to be addressed by a diminutive Chinese American woman. As she told the crowd about her recent experiment ...

Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

In a new study, the team posits that “cosmic knots” – topologically stable tangles in spacetime – emerged in the very early universe. These may have collapsed in ways that favored matter over ...

Simple physics may explain how the Easter Island statues could "walk" miles with only a handful of people, but the debate over their transport is far from over.
