European researchers are developing quantum computers using light and glass, in a collaboration that promises breakthroughs in computing power, battery technology and scientific discovery.
A sudden burst of red light flickered above a thunderstorm, and for a brief moment, Earth’s upper atmosphere revealed one of its most elusive secrets. From 250 miles above the surface, aboard the International Space Station, astronaut Nichole “Vapor” Ayers looked out her window in the early hours of July 3 and saw it: a […]
Researchers are challenging the limits of optical brain imaging.
A deep-sea telescope may have just caught dark matter in action for the first time.
About a century ago, scientists were struggling to reconcile what seemed a contradiction in Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Published in 1915, and already widely accepted worldwide by physicists and mathematicians, the theory assumed the universe was static – unchanging, unmoving and immutable. In short, Einstein believed the size and shape of the universe […]
An Oxford-led team simulation just brought one of physics' weirdest predictions to life.
A simple gesture hides a complex interplay of air, flesh, and fluid mechanics.
An invisible, split-second blast reveals a new chapter in lightning physics.
A 1950s astronomy technique was used to read pea-sized letters over 1.3 kilometers away.

Painting ships like zebras was a bold move, but it likely didn't fool U-boats. Something else worked though.
The technology could be applied to not just screens but also quantum computing and spintronics.
From black holes to white holes. Who would've thought?
A novel theory could finally bridge the gap between quantum physics and general relativity.
The Universe doesn't care which direction time flows in.
Imagine a supervillain attacking you with his unique superpower of creating small black holes. An invisible force zips through your body at unimaginable speed. You feel no push, no heat, yet, deep inside your body, atoms momentarily shift in response to the gravitational pull of something tiny yet immensely dense — a primordial black hole […]
A tiny diamond battery could power devices for thousands of years.
