Electrons zipping through transistors, powering the screens on our smartphones. Light zooming from distant stars to Earth, ...

Recently, the University of Minnesota exercise physiology assistant professor has added another check to his routine: air ...

Researchers were unsure whether alpha particles would aid or hinder fusion. Simulations suggest they help, by dampening turbulence.

Titanium corrosion -- not just bacteria -- drives antibiotic failure in peri-implantitis cases. A newly identified calcium channel (TRPC1) is the first credible drug target for peri-implantitis. Avoid ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — must be incomplete, because there are a host of phenomena it cannot ...

The task of gently transporting a microscopic particle from one point to another along a winding path, and then bringing it back using nothing more than a single, compact chip is a challenge we set ...

The question sounds simple. The answer, once you examine the actual measurement science behind it, is more interesting than either “yes” or “no”. The houseplant-as-air-purifier idea can be traced to a ...

What if you could send a message into the past? The laws of physics don’t forbid it – and in fact, in some cases, communicating backwards in time might actually be easier than the usual direction. The ...

Nestled in the heart of CERN’s antimatter factory, surrounded by intensely powerful magnetic fields and within a vacuum sparser than interstellar space, is some of the most sensitive material on Earth ...

Nasa and Noaa are monitoring the Sun around the clock to protect the Artemis II crew from deadly solar radiation during their 10-day journey around the Moon. Here is how scientists on the ground are ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of gravity, which explains the behavior of stars, planets, and the structure of the ...

There's no denying that something massive lurks at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, but a new study asks whether a supermassive black hole is the only possible explanation. All measurements taken of ...
