Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

This week, among a lot of other important findings, we learned that emperor cichlid fish have gaze sensitivity and dislike it ...

Physicists are getting closer to creating a long-sought ‘nuclear clock’. This device would keep time by measuring energy ...

Static electricity may seem simple. Students often learn that rubbing a balloon against their hair will cause negatively ...

Scientists at the University of Warwick and University of Exeter have developed a fully fibre-coupled terahertz (THz) imaging system that ...

A recent line of inquiry explores how atomic systems behave when immersed in curved spacetime, particularly under the influence of gravitational waves. In a new study, scientists show that ...

A new quantum system called giant superatoms could protect quantum information and enable entanglement between multiple qubits. The concept merges giant atoms and superatoms to improve stability and ...

Dominika Ďurovčíková is using Webb telescope data to investigate ancient quasars – and the mystery of how supermassive black ...

The observations provided by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have substantially advanced our understanding of the early ...

MIT physicists have built a powerful new microscope that uses terahertz light to uncover hidden quantum motions inside superconductors. By compressing this normally unwieldy light into a tiny region, ...

A soaring cosmic symphony surrounds us; its notes emerge from massive celestial objects crashing together hundreds of millions or even billions of light-years away. Ever since astronomers announced ...

A new data release more than doubles the number of gravitational-wave candidate events—and reveals unexpected complexities of merging black holes ...
