Matter starts to behave differently at extremely low temperatures, creating conditions ideal for studying quantum physics and ...

A magnet barely wider than a human hair is one of the fastest spinning objects ever and could be useful for both fundamental ...

Physics is supposed to be predictable. Drop a ball, and gravity pulls it down. Heat water, and it boils. Light travels in straight lines. Yet throughout history, scientists have encountered ...

Physics experiments have changed the world irrevocably, altering our reality and enabling us to take gigantic leaps in technology. From ancient times to now, here's a look at some of the greatest ...

Preliminary results from two experiments suggest something could be wrong with the basic way physicists think the universe works, a prospect that has the field of particle physics both baffled and ...

For most stars, neutron stars and black holes are their final resting places. When a supergiant star runs out of fuel, it expands and then rapidly collapses on itself. This act creates a neutron ...

New subscription service delivers multidisciplinary science and educational activity kits to American families, with ...

Building the Nobel-prizewinning neutrino experiment was a big risk. To continue its success, scientists — and funders — need to stay bold.
