The double slit experiment reveals that observing light changes its behavior, making it act as both a wave and a particle.

Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Earth's core might be layered like an onion, according to a new study that looked at the anomalous nature of waved in the ...

Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional ...

Seismic waves passing through Earth's inner core have revealed much about our planet's iron center: how it's changing shape, ...

For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical illusion called the Terrell-Penrose effect. When you purchase through links on ...

An experiment seven years in the making has uncovered new insights into the nature of consciousness and challenges two prominent, competing scientific theories: Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and ...

This novel finding regarding the nonreciprocal diffraction of acoustic waves could open doors for next-generation communication devices. A unique propagation phenomenon of acoustic waves has been ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...
