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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Time travel has shifted from pure fantasy to a serious, if highly constrained, topic in modern physics. The equations that ...

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 ...

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

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