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

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

If you're going to Mars you'd best take along a jar of anti-aging cream because while you're there you're going to age faster ...

Controlling qubits with quantum superpositions allows them to dramatically violate a fundamental limit and encode information ...

Combining artificial intelligence with a conventional climate model can predict heatwaves faster than the standard model ...

The ancient world was probably filled with magicians using science only a few understood, but the works of one man have ...

What if your conscious experiences were not just the chatter of neurons, but were connected to the hum of the universe? In a ...

The microscopic processes taking place in superconductors are difficult to observe directly. Researchers at the RPTU ...

A new equation calculates how many fragments of each size will be produced when an object breaks. The principle could help ...

A remarkably clean gravitational-wave detection has confirmed long-standing predictions about black holes, including ...

Nuclear clocks are a technology researchers have been working toward for decades. New research in theoretical physics brings them closer to reality.

Clocks tick faster on Mars than they do on Earth, in part because Mars experiences less gravitational pull from the Sun. Now scientists have calculated just how much faster -- 477 microseconds, on ...
