From gas exchange at the water’s surface to photosynthesis deep in coral tissue, a reef tank is biology in motion. This ...

In this fascinating experiment, we delve into the world of science by pitting a powerful magnet against a simple needle.

A new calculation shows how five atoms interact in the Efimov effect. It marks a major leap in quantum physics. Matter behaves weirdly at the quantum scale, one of the strangest examples being the ...

To our eyes, they often are a blur. But high-speed cameras show us what makes these birds perfect flying machines.

But as impressive as this archive is, it is the byproduct of something that today looks almost equally remarkable: strangers ...

That’s close to what physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have created—a new kind of time crystal made from ...

Zero-point energy is one of the most intriguing phenomena of quantum mechanics. Because quantum particles are also waves, ...

Physicists in Germany say they have measured the correlated behaviour of atoms in molecules prepared in their lowest quantum energy state for the first time. Using a technique known as Coulomb ...

"We want to look at the effects of long-term exposure to space — as if the Zylon material is going for a potential six- to ...

A tissue fold known as the cephalic furrow, an evolutionary novelty that forms between the head and the trunk of fly embryos, ...

Everyday occurrences like snapping hair clips or clicking retractable pens feature a mechanical phenomenon known as ...
