A gel held together entirely by interlocking DNA rings exhibits mechanical properties unlike any conventional gel, driven purely by topology.

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three-dimensional space—things get divided nicely into ...

Physicists have discovered a surprising new “Island of Inversion” in a place no one expected: among nuclei where the number ...

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

A special set of numbers has formed the backbone of nuclear physics research for decades, and now we finally know how it arises from the quantum mix of nuclear particles and forces. Nearly 80 years ...

Philosopher Nick Bostrom argued that one possibility is unavoidable: we are almost certainly living in a simulation . Quantum experiments like the delayed choice experiment suggest observation alters ...

The science pros at TKOR capture experiments in satisfying slow motion, revealing physics and motion like you’ve never seen before. Greenland doesn’t need a hospital boat, Danish minister tells Trump ...

Colorado State University will host its annual Little Shop of Physics Open House on March 1. The event features over 300 hands-on science experiments for all ages at the Lory Student Center. More than ...
