The measurement problem in quantum mechanics looks at how an experimental outcome changes, simply by observing it.

In a world-first, researchers from the Femtosecond Spectroscopy Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST ...

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new supernova remnant that showcases a remarkable circular symmetry in shape. The detection of the remnant, dubbed "Teleios," is ...

Early scientific theories—such as those explaining basic phenomena like gravity, burning, and the movement of molecules in ...

On April 8, a solar eclipse will occur across North America, with a path of totality — total blockage of the sun by the moon — occurring throughout the day above several large U.S. cities in ...

Intriguingly, the observations fit with an alternative theory of gravity that could negate the need for dark matter. Although it’s since been superseded by Einstein’s theory of general relativity, ...

Finally, the team wants to continue sharing all the data submitted into the app. Currently, pit data is shared to Community Snow Obs, a Nasa-funded citizen science initiative designed to gather snow ...

Researchers have succeeded in observing the effects of spin current transfer and spin current generation from the non-magnetic side of a device, using a multilayer device consisting of a ferromagnetic ...

Recent advances in cometary science have yielded unprecedented insights into the composition, dynamics and evolution of cometary nuclei and their surrounding comae. Studies now demonstrate that comets ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, scientists have achieved the first experimental observation of phonon angular momentum in chiral crystals. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

"My goal in chemistry is to try to help students learn the ability to think the way chemists think," says Bodner (see Close-Up on page 8). "Most of what I teach consists of styles of problems: How do ...
