Heating a mirror to glowing red raises surprising questions about reflection and light, and this experiment explains what ...

Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

A beam of light was sent through a maze of mirrors and detectors. Then scientists changed the setup after the photon had already passed through. Somehow the photon adjusted its behavior as if it had ...

Researchers uncover geometric principles governing how particles self-assemble, solving a long-standing challenge in ...

The Large Hadron Collider will be shut down, paving the way for a major upgrade, and perhaps its eventual, even bigger ...

Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The challenge: the process seemed random and notoriously difficult to predict.

SN Ares might be the most exciting one. The star exploded when the universe was about one-third of its current age.

The robot is hard to see without a microscope. It’s small enough to rest on the ridge of a fingerprint and can operate in ...

Scientists at UC Berkeley's Central Sierra Snow Laboratory provide insights into long-term trends, including climate change ...

A comprehensive guide to how the prequel echoed its predecessor — from blink-and-you-miss-them callbacks to major reveals ...
