MIT experiment shows even minimal disturbance erases light’s wave pattern, proving Einstein wrong

An international group of paleontologists led by the University of Poitiers, France, report that a recently recovered velociraptorine fossil, Shri rapax, brandished unusually large, powerful clawed hands. Findings point to an evolutionary niche within Mongoli…

New research shows that entangled particles can pass on their shared state again and again and again.

Two recent studies by Professor Stefano Profumo at the University of California, Santa Cruz, propose theories that attempt to answer one of the most fundamental open questions in modern physics: What is the particle nature of dark matter?

New research from the University of St Andrews has found that giant free floating planets have the potential to form their own miniature planetary systems without the need for a star.

Incorporated into every aspect of everyday life, the neutron is a fundamental particle of nature. Now, a research collaboration led by Los Alamos National Laboratory has improved the precision of free neutron lifetime measurements. The team's results highligh…

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that breakneck speed, one might expect errors to occur, and they do, a…

The brilliantly shiny diamond is more than just pretty; it's one of the hardest minerals on Earth, with a name derived from the Greek word adámas, meaning unbreakable. Scientists have now engineered a harder form of diamond known as bulk hexagonal diamond (HD…

Space hurricanes can shake Earth's magnetic field and scramble satellites without a solar storm in sight.

This solar eclipse was created by 2 satellites flying in formation, allowing astronomers to photograph the Sun’s corona.

A study finds that many organs begin aging faster around age 50. Experts explain what this means—and the steps you can take now to stay healthier, longer.

While it might feel too soon, ordering spring bulbs earlier in the year (before they sell out) is a good idea
