The research continues, with a paper published in the journal The Anatomical Record reporting on new experiments to analyze the flexibility of feline spines. Over the centuries, scientists have ...

The catastrophic collision of a black hole and a neutron star sent ripples across the universe. New analysis of those ripples could upend a major theory about how these extreme pairs form.

When we want to weigh something, the process is simple. We place it on a weighing machine or on a traditional balance. The number appears and we insta.

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

The lasers alone would cost around one trillion dollars and the technology to create a nanocraft does not yet exist.

When cats fall, they usually land on their feet. This uncanny ability to right themselves before hitting the ground has long puzzled scientists. Now, a team from Yamaguchi University in Japan has the ...

At some point, most people have found themselves holding a tilted carton of milk or bottle of cooking oil, patiently waiting for the last drops to drip out. Now, physicists at Brown University have ...

My travel schedule has become much busier recently, so I’ve been on a lot of flights. This inspired me to share what I think is a helpful metaphor. Please bear with me. In the late 1600s, Isaac Newton ...
