To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by ...

In physics, to qualify as another reality means it must lie beyond the four known space-time dimensions. Such a realm must also be inaccessible, like public restrooms in the Big Apple. Good examples, ...

Scientists say that while ordinary crystals repeat precisely, quasicrystals maintain order even though their patterns fail to repeat perfectly.

Scientists successfully borrow concepts from string theory to explain the network architecture of branching biological systems like neurons ...

The total energy of the ball consists of its potential energy (related to position) plus its kinetic energy (related to motion). To zero out both components, you would have to give a precise value to ...

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

Just a few years ago, many researchers in quantum computing thought it would take several decades to develop machines that could solve complex tasks, such as predicting how chemicals react or cracking ...

The universe feels three-dimensional — but some of the deepest physics suggests reality may have 11 dimensions hidden from our senses. This idea comes from theories like string theory and M-theory, ...

Biological systems are notoriously tough to model, especially when it comes to figuring out the axons, neurons, blood vessels, and other structural components of gray matter, or the tissue that makes ...

In an effort to solve the riddle of why we have subjective conciousness, scientists have develop myriad theories, including ones involving the quantum realm. A new theory suggests that consciousness ...
