To think about new ways of transmitting science and to really innovate how we teach, the first step is creating an appropriate dialogue format. From there, everything becomes possible.
Strangely behaving matter could one day explain some of the mysteries of space.
Twisted laser light may help launch a revolution in technology.
From capillary forces to sand grain shape, the simple mix of sand and water hides the complexity within.
The Matter of Everything is a partial account of the history of physics, which leaves out a lot, including the story of some key women scientists.
Life on Earth has dramatically changed the chemistry of the planet. Astronomers will measure light that bounces off distant planets to look for similar clues that they host life.
A physicist explains how atoms arrange themselves into molecules – and how scientists are able to image these tiny bits of matter that make up everything around you.
Theories exploring the possibility of time travel rely on the existence of types of matter and energy that we do not understand yet.
Astronomers studying fast radio bursts recently discovered one that repeats, has a persistent radio signal and originated in a galaxy much closer than it should have.
Nuclear isomers are rare versions of elements with properties that mystified physicists when first discovered. Isomers are now used in medicine and astronomy, and researchers are set to discover thousands more of them.
Monte Carlo simulations can predict different potential outcomes because they provide for the presence of random variables or elements.
Sagittarius A* is a massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Now that astronomers have imaged it, they can begin to learn more about black holes within other galaxies across the universe.
Girls report not feeling clever enough to take physics.
A decadelong experiment produced the most accurate measurement yet of the mass of W bosons. These particles are responsible for the weak force, and the result is more evidence for undiscovered physics.
Cutting-edge theories of physics suggest time may not be real – but even if they’re right, life can still go on as usual.
In January 2022, the JET fusion experiment produced more power over a longer period of time than any past attempt. Two physicists explain the engineering advancements that made the result possible.
Probabilistic processes are never time-reversible.
The story of the groundbreaking history behind your flatscreen TVs, mobiles and tablets – and the ingenious scientist who made it possible.
A new database could pave the way for a more fair and consistent way to score slam dunks, a self-described ‘dunk scientist’ says.
