Virtual particles exploit the natural fuzziness of the subatomic world, where if these ephemeral particles live briefly enough, they can also briefly borrow their energy from empty space. The haziness ...

Stronger links between researchers who work on Earth’s and other planets’ atmospheres, and between the experimental, ...

The simulation of strongly interacting many-body systems is a key objective of quantum physics research, as it can help to ...

It took a long time for zero to be recognised as a number at all, let alone one of the most powerful ones – but now it’s ...

Montgomery happened to find strikingly similar behavior in the prime numbers— specifically, the correlations between the ...

The dazzling Orionid meteor shower peaked on Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning between midnight and dawn.

As far as particles of light are concerned, the collective is more important than the individual. When they get to decide ...

In the basement of Connecticut's Beneski Museum of Natural History sit the fossilized footprints of a small, chicken-sized ...

The science is unsettled, but researchers say there is cause for concern. Tiny plastic particles like these—called microplastics—are added to some exfoliating skincare gels and can get into the ...

Today, advanced simulations can reconstruct those steps in the sand grain by grain, revealing not just how dinosaurs walked, ...

The Alen BreatheSmart 35i may not be the most thoughtfully designed air purifier out there, but it makes up for its humble ...

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...
