The lines worn into an engraved limestone object from the Netherlands are consistent with the idea that it was a Roman game board, according to an AI analysis ...

Unfortunately, all this tells astronomers only that dark matter must be there, not what it really is. The evidence for dark matter is all based on how it interacts with gravity at very large scales.

Astronomers at the University of Alabama in Huntsville may have found the closest evidence yet of a hidden clump of dark matter near the Sun. Led by astrophysicist Sukanya Chakrabarti, the research ...

Explore how quadratic drag influences the motion of objects moving in a straight line. In this video, we break down the physics behind resistive forces that increase with the square of velocity, ...

The method, described in Advanced Materials, replaces the slow, multi-step molding and casting process that traditionally defines soft robotics. Researchers have figured out how to 3D-print ...

A forgotten object in a museum revealed the oldest blue pigment in Europe, pushing back the use of this color by 13,000 years ...

The findings indicate that bonobos—or at least that Kanzi had—have the capacity to imagine, says Christopher Krupenye, an assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences at Johns Hopkins and ...

In my last post, we looked at why willpower-based parenting resolutions fail. Intentional parenting offers a different approach: understand what needs aren't getting met, then build systems that ...

Physically, sound is just pressure moving through a medium. If you harness that pressure correctly, you can actually push things around using nothing but sound. That's exactly what researchers at ...

Magnets can move metal objects without even making contact—but how do they do that? In this video, you’ll learn how magnetic fields are formed, how poles attract and repel, and where we see this ...
