Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators have developed a new type of lidar—a laser-based remote-sensing ...

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not ...

A new type of lidar is allowing physicists to study cloud tops at a resolution 100 to 1,000 times higher than before.

Neutrinos may be nearly invisible, but they play a starring role in the Universe. Long-standing anomalies had hinted at a ...

A rare SWOT satellite pass captured a Pacific-wide tsunami in high resolution, revealing complex wave patterns that challenge ...

Right at the brink of a black hole, gravity twists space and time so violently that ordinary physics starts to fall apart.

For more than a century, astronomers have known that some “new stars” flaring into view are not births at all but violent ...

A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before.

High-precision measurements from the KATRIN experiment strongly limit the existence of light sterile neutrinos and narrow the search for new physics. Neutrinos are extremely difficult to detect, yet ...

Using Georgia State’s CHARA Array, an international team of scientists has uncovered unexpected complexity in how stars ...

With Christmas in the books and a calendar flip on the horizon, the NFL turns from velvet red robes to 2026 resolutions.

According to the scientists, this reduction of cloud droplets near the cloud top is due to two processes: entrainment, where ...
