New scientific modeling reveals the shocking distances needed to survive a nuclear bomb explosion and its devastating effects.

Another interesting consequence of relativity is that as time stretches out at high speeds, distances diminish. It’s hard to ...

Chalmers researchers have developed a simple, light-based platform to study the mysterious “invisible glue” that binds materials at the nanoscale. Gold flakes floating in salt water reveal how quantum ...

Real particles are lumps of energy that can be "seen" or detected by appropriate instruments; this feature is what makes them ...

Virtual particles exploit the natural fuzziness of the subatomic world, where if these ephemeral particles live briefly enough, they can also briefly borrow their energy from empty space. The haziness ...

Warm Jupiters are rewriting the rules of planet formation - showing eccentric orbits that stay strangely aligned with their stars.
