Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

A 2026 review published by Nature has tightened the criteria for what counts as genuine evidence of altermagnetism, a magnetic phase that has drawn intense speculation about faster, lower-power ...

The “horizon” he points to isn’t a doorway to the divine, other scientists say. Yet, modern physics has been trying to answer questions once left to religion.

Honey, prized for centuries as both a natural sweetener and a healing remedy, is also one of the rare foods that can last indefinitely without spoiling but there's a catch.

In nature, tiny crystals known as nanocrystals are formed slowly over many years. Rocks and minerals react with air, water, and carbon dioxide in a process called chemical weathering. These reactions ...

Out in the Kuiper Belt, the massive doughnut of debris beyond Neptune, about one in 10 kilometer-scale objects have surprised scientists with their unexpected shape. Rather than resembling a ball, ...

While many of my readers are philosophers, or have at least studied philosophy for a while at university, many are not. So I was reluctant to get into metaphysical debates within philosophy, fearing ...

In his new book, Roland Ennos offers eye-opening ideas that the importance of physical power and engineering brilliance—rather than intellect—allowed us to dominate the planet.

It already exists in the natural world. Now, thanks to breakthroughs in genetic engineering, scientists have created ...

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at ...

Human sperm can swim through surprisingly viscous fluids with ease – and they seemingly defy Newton's third law of motion to do so.

At its simplest, the question Chalmers posed was, how is it that seemingly inert physical matter — quarks, atoms, molecules, ...
