Ars Technica: The Voyager Golden Record is perhaps the best known example of humans attempting to communicate with an alien ...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect ...

CHICO, Calif. — On Friday, Chico elementary students had a smashing time as they watched members of Chico State's Society of Physics drop pumpkins from a crane, all in the name of science. The 38th ...

MIT researchers turned molecules into miniature colliders, allowing electrons to penetrate atomic nuclei and return clues about their internal structure. The breakthrough could expose hidden ...

A supersolid is a paradoxical state of matter—it is rigid like a crystal but flows without friction like a superfluid. This exotic form of quantum matter has only recently been realized in dipolar ...

Illustration of photon-photon scattering in the laboratory. Two green petawatt lasers beams collide at the focus with a third red beam to polarise the quantum vacuum. This allows a fourth blue laser ...

TL;DR: This experiment may not revolutionize telecommunications, but it highlights how accessible these concepts have become outside traditional research labs. Using nothing more than an iPad, a solar ...

You don’t need a lab to explore the wonders of science - just a little curiosity and a few things from around the house. These five easy experiments bring chemistry, physics, and biology to life in ...

From levitating magnets to mind-bending psychology studies, these ten experiments reveal just how surprising - and mysterious - our world can be. Each one challenges what we think we know about ...
