Learn how to determine the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) in a mass spectrometer! This guide walks you through the physics behind the process, from ion acceleration to detection, with practical insights ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

Even the best telescopes can’t see exoplanets. It’s all about watching for jiggly stars, blue shifts, and transits.

A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden ...

The Quetzalcoatlus northropi was the largest flying animal that ever lived. The huge pterosaur existed during the Late ...

A research team from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with other researchers, has developed a new method to estimate how stellar-mass compact objects ...

Calculating how King Kong could theoretically exist in reality based on physics and biology. Massive data breach sees millions of credit card details leaked ...

New measurements using gravitational lensing suggest the universe’s current expansion rate does not agree with signals from ...

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have re-engineered the popular Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) for simulating ...

Even worse, the orbit of Mars is elliptical (think of a slight oval rather than a perfect circle), which means that sometimes ...

Working through years’ worth of data from an old observational campaign, a team of astronomers have directly imaged a new ...

By studying faint distortions in galaxy shapes across a vast region of sky, scientists probed the hidden structure of the universe. In the standard picture of the universe, nearly everything is hidden ...
