Physicists have finally confirmed a phenomenon that sounds like pure science fiction: waves that appear to bounce off a ...

Pulsars are some of the most reliable metronomes in the universe, and scientists are now using their flickering radio beams to keep time across the galaxy and sharpen the search for intelligent life.

FROSTI is a new adaptive optics system that precisely corrects distortions in LIGO’s mirrors caused by extreme laser power. By using custom thermal patterns, it preserves mirror shape without ...

New multiscale simulations help crack long-standing mysteries behind the enormous radio arcs generated when galaxy clusters collide. At the universe's grandest scales, galaxy clusters collide in ...

The Saarland researchers reveal that the slipperiness of ice is driven by electrostatic forces, not melting. Water molecules in ice are arranged in a rigid crystal lattice. Each molecule has a ...

A new study with the incredibly exciting title of "Overdispersed Radio Source Counts and Excess Radio Dipole Detection" has announced quite a thrilling discovery, indeed: Our solar system is moving ...

It’s safe to say that at the end of its eight-episode first season, Prime Video and the Westworld team of Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy have seemingly pulled off the impossible and successfully adapted ...

We conclude that brain states are shaped by local circuit mechanisms, large-scale connectivity and neuromodulation. A unified multiscale theory of cortical dynamics is relevant not only for ...

Dark centre? A simulated version of the Milky Way galaxy. (Courtesy: AIP/ A. Khalatyan) Astronomers have long puzzled over the cause of a mysterious “glow” of very high energy gamma radiation ...

The world's largest neutrino detector, a massive, spherical facility located 700 meters deep underground in South China's Guangdong province, has delivered its first set of experimental results.

Wen Liangjian, deputy director of the Institute of High Energy Physics, presents the first set of experimental results delivered by the JUNO project in Jiangmen, Guangdong, on Wednesday. JIN ...

If you've been wondering why Tracker slimmed down its cast between its second and third seasons, the show's most recent episode, "Eat the Rich," has proven its point beyond a shadow of a doubt. It's ...
