New data suggests the traditional assumptions behind hail stow modelling may be underestimating the likelihood of damage to a ...

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

As the collapsed core of a massive star, a neutron star is a small but incredibly dense object, packing up to three times the ...

Virtual particles exploit the natural fuzziness of the subatomic world, where if these ephemeral particles live briefly enough, they can also briefly borrow their energy from empty space. The haziness ...
