Rain is usually made of water, but elsewhere in the Solar System the weather can be unimaginably different. Scientists from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory believe that on two giant planets, ...

Quantum physics once shocked scientists by revealing that particles can behave like waves—and now, that strange behavior has been pushed even further. For the first time, researchers have observed ...

Scientists have directly watched angular momentum move through a crystal for the very first time — and discovered a bizarre twist along the way. Using ultra-powerful terahertz laser pulses, ...

The 43rd annual Humboldt County Doris Niles Science Fair took place last week, with more than 255 students in kindergarten through 12th grade collaborating on 169 projects. The projects were on ...

Nearly two decades ago, four graduate students from MIT united around a shared idea. "We believed that programming cells would ultimately be more important than programming computers," says Jason ...

Experiments involving real and simulated robots suggest that the relationship between physical movement and sensory input could be crucial to developing more intelligent machines. Tests involving two ...

AI has already proved itself a valuable scientific tool. Could it take on a more central role in the research process? AI companies frequently invoke the possibility of AI-enabled scientific discovery ...
