As drones survey forests, robots navigate warehouses and sensors monitor city streets, more of the world's decision-making is ...

Nuclear weapons tests are among the most violent events humans can trigger, and that violence leaves fingerprints in the ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of physics.

While the concept of time travel has long captured public imagination, modern physics actually approaches time in a much more subtle manner. Instead o.

On September 14, 2015, at 3:50 AM Central time, a tiny vibration shuddered down the 2.5-mile-long arms of a massive machine in Livingston, Louisiana. A fraction of a second later, a similar vibration ...

It’s been two years since scientists discovered evidence of gravitational waves. Now, they’re figuring out what we can do with them. Recently, they found a huge, early contender: Using them to unveil ...

NASA scientists are reshaping the basic understanding of a type of wave in space known as a kinetic Alfvén wave. When NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale -- or MMS -- mission was launched, the scientists ...

Topological water currents could exist in Earth’s oceans, according to physicists in the France and the US. The team has made a connection between the physics that gives topological insulators their ...

Scientists have detected a strange new type of high-frequency wave on the sun's surface, and the waves are moving three times faster than scientists thought was possible. Scientists can't see into the ...
