In chambers that mimic Mars' conditions, University of Michigan researchers have shown how small amounts of liquid water could form on the planet despite its below-freezing temperatures.

Elastic Invisibility Cloak Allows to Hide from Touching / Mechanical Meta-material Can Be Produced in Millimeter Size

Studying a famous Leonardo self-portrait, a team of scientists has developed a new, nondestructive way to gauge degradation of ancient paper art and docs.

University of Adelaide physics researchers have produced the world's most sensitive thermometer - three times more precise than the best thermometers in existence.

On June 4, join Dr. S. James Gates Jr. on a journey down the path that links one of the most challenging concepts in theoretical physics to the works of Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg.

Laser light needn’t be as precise as previously thought to drive new breed of miniature particle accelerators, say Berkeley Lab researchers.

Astrophysicists at UC San Diego have measured the minute gravitational distortions in polarized radiation from the early universe and discovered that these ancient microwaves can provide an important cosmological test of Einstein’s theory of general relativity. These measurements have the potential to narrow down the estimates for the mass of ghostly subatomic particles known as neutrinos.

Findings unequivocally link two "personality" changes of electrons at critical point.

MIT/Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics unveil "Illustris," a sophisticated computer program to recreate the evolution of the universe in high fidelity.

For the first time, scientists have a clearer understanding of how to control the appearance of a superconducting phase in a material, adding crucial fundamental knowledge and perhaps setting the stage for advances in the field of superconductivity.

Scientists explore ways to synchronize spins for more powerful nanoscale electronic devices

The road uniting quantum field theory and general relativity – the two great theories of modern physics – has been impassable for 80 years. Could a tool from condensed matter physics finally help map the way?
