A new computational method now makes it possible to calculate the forces between large molecules with unprecedented accuracy.

Driving a spacecraft around a planet isn’t anything like driving on a planet. A physicist explains orbital navigation.

Faster medical breakthroughs? More efficient and personalized healthcare? Better, sturdier manufacturing materials? All of ...

The paper, recently published in the journal PNAS, found that roundworms can use static electricity to leap up to 25 times ...

It took a long time for zero to be recognised as a number at all, let alone one of the most powerful ones – but now it’s ...

For a recent paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers investigated the odd physics of a ...

Dark matter has two central properties: it has mass like regular matter, and unlike regular matter, it reacts weakly or not at all with light. Neutrinos satisfy these two criteria, but neutrinos move ...

There are two main sources of uncertainty in storm surge predictions: the input data used in the model and the computational ...

But the real puzzle isn’t whether de-skilling exists—it plainly does—but rather what kind of thing it is. Are all forms of de ...

There’s a small bronze lump near your boiler that never gets a second glance. It whirs through the night, sips electricity ...

Paul Schnackenburg, our 1-person SOC Down Under, goes into the basics of quantum computing, what the potential risks are, what steps you can take to mitigate those risks, what others in the industry ...

Most explanations rely on "dark energy" to explain the Universe's accelerating expansion rate, but a new study takes a different path.
