Mathematicians finally understand the behavior of an important class of differential equations that describe everything from ...
How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.
Today’s observatories document every pulse and flash in the sky each night. To understand how the cosmos has changed over longer periods, scientists rely on a more tactile technology.
New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...
Mathematicians are still trying to understand fundamental properties of the Fourier transform, one of their most ubiquitous ...
Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.
Primordial black holes could rewrite our understanding of dark matter and the early universe. A record-breaking detection at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea has some physicists wondering if we ...
On a remote island in the Indian Ocean, six closely watched bats took to the star-draped skies. As they flew across the seven-acre speck of land, devices implanted in their brains pinged data back to ...
Ninety million times a year, when protons crash together at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), they produce, in their wreckage, a top quark and an anti-top quark, the heaviest known elementary particles ...
A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...
