For more than 40 years, physicist John Conway has led research in high-energy particle physics, a field driven by a simple ...

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

Have a positive experience: Noticing or recalling a positive, enjoyable, or useful experience activates the HEAL method. In ...

Discover how to craft a simple electric motor using everyday household items in this detailed, step-by-step tutorial. Follow along as we transform basic materials—like copper wire, an old CD, magnets, ...

Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...

The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

Knots are everywhere—from tangled headphones to DNA strands packed inside viruses—but how an isolated filament can knot ...

This experiment uses a warm liquid on ice to explore how heat actually moves and dissipates. Instead of melting evenly, the ice reacts in unexpected patterns that reveal strange thermal behavior. It’s ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, scientists have filmed atoms performing an eternal quantum dance that never ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?
