"If you're flying rockets in space, and you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong," said the researcher who led the mission.

Researchers have created an optical device that can generate both electric and magnetic vortex-ring-like light patterns.

In physics, breakthroughs are rare. Experiments are slow, expensive and often end up refining, rather than rewriting, our understanding of the universe. But what if the only constraint on scientific ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the cosmos’s dark matter. By Kenneth Chang Just how many types of neutrinos ...
