A closer look at the planets around a star called LHS 1903 may just flip our understanding of how planetary systems form.

For decades, scientists have believed that planetary systems typically form with rocky planets close to their star and gas-rich planets farther away. This discovery questions their knowledge.

Keeping high-power particle accelerators at peak performance requires advanced and precise control systems. For example, the primary research machine at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas ...

The most frustrating limitation in AI video generation has always been duration. Generate a stunning 5-second clip that perfectly captures your vision, and then... it ends. You need more. The story ...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its ...

Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are gaining traction as a next-generation technology to complement the widely used lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). NIBs offer clear advantages versus LIBs in terms of ...

All of the sports at the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortino involve some physics in action. For figure skating, ski jumping and curling, two of the basic laws of the physics of motion are at play: ...

It’s unclear whether science as a discipline—and scientists as people—will ever be able to answer some questions definitively ...

This post features biographies and notable quotes from oral history interviews with planetary geophysicist Lynnae Quick, ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Mia Wood talks with Dr. Shella Keilholz on MRI, interdisciplinary neuroscience, brain function, and why embracing complexity-not hype-matters in science.
