Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

Let’s be honest—complex physics theories and mind-bending math problems can leave most of us staring blankly, wondering what just happened. But one thing most of us can understand is a good meme about ...

Physicists have directly visualized the fundamental electronic building blocks of flat-band quantum materials, a class of systems in which electron motion is effectively quenched and strong ...

A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system ...

Andy Weir discusses his science-fueled novel “Project Hail Mary,” which has been adapted into a film that opens in theaters ...

Britain is preparing to cancel its contribution to one of the Large Hadron Collider's next major upgrades.

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard were recognized for their foundational work in quantum information science.

Animals come in an extraordinary range of body shapes. A starfish looks nothing like an earthworm, a mouse, or a human. Yet even closely related species can appear radically different: corals, ...

A quirk of scheduling – or an APS organizer with a dark sense of humour – meant that the two sessions were practically next ...

Scientists at Harvard have built a miniature device that can twist and tune light in real time. By rotating two stacked photonic crystals and adjusting their spacing with a tiny mechanical system, ...

New faculty member Anton Artemyev is bringing his award-winning research in space physics to The University of Texas at Arlington, strengthening the University’s growing presence in space science and ...
