Recently, scientists from institutions including the University of Science and Technology of China made a fundamental breakthrough in nuclear-spin quantum precision measurement. They developed the ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

For more than a century, a single metal cylinder in a Paris vault quietly defined what a kilogram was. After 130 years, ...

The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new ...

Climate science, over the past few decades, especially since the turn of the new century, has increasingly identified trouble spots with ecosystems that ...

When water and ions move together through channels only a nanometer wide, they behave in unusual ways. In these tight spaces, ...

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany and the Centro de Astrobiología, part of ...

Current electrochemical theory does not adequately describe realistic platinum electrodes. Scientists at Leiden University have now, for the first time, mapped the influence of imperfect platinum ...

An international team of astronomers has taken a close look at three distant galaxies and discovered that, in their central regions, something is missing in terms of mass. Or, more precisely, that ...

Jupiter’s vast, banded clouds have long obscured the true nature of the giant planet beneath, but a new atmospheric model is changing that picture by pointing to a deep chemical imbalance that carries ...

For the first time, researchers have found what seems to be a cloud of dark matter about 60 million times the mass of the sun in our galactic neighbourhood ...

While cold-stunned iguanas fall from trees in Florida and videos circulate of frozen "exploding" trees in the Northeast, Southern California is working up a sweat.
