NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has captured stunning images of almost perfectly round sand dunes on the surface of the Red Planet. Whil…
Dunkleosteus terrelli, an armor-plated fish that lived in the shallow subtropical waters of the Devonian period, about 360 million years ago, is one …
Glimpsed only occasionally at the hearts of massive clusters of galaxies, ultramassive black holes are some of the largest and most elusive objects i…
The world we observe around us can be described according to the laws of classical physics, but once we observe things at an atomic scale, the strang…
In 2022, the physics Nobel prize was awarded for experimental work showing that the quantum world must break some of our fundamental intuitions about…
The comprehensive map, called a connectome, took 12 years of meticulous work to construct, and shows the location of all 3,016 neurons in the brain o…
For the first time, astronomers have spotted enormous, galaxy-scale shock waves rattling the "cosmic web" that connects nearly all known …
For quite some time, there has been a proposition that a density spike of dark matter could develop around a black hole, but despite this theoretical…
Humans can't teleport or reside in multiple places at once — but the tiniest particles of matter can. These eerie quantum effects have tradition…
The Big Bang may have not been alone. The appearance of all the particles and radiation in the universe may have been joined by another Big Bang t…
Quantum mechanics allows particles due to their quantum mechanical wave properties to break through the energetic barrier (wall) and a reaction occur…
