Gravity, the force that keeps everything anchored to Earth, is predictable, at least most of the time. But there are places around the world where this fundamental law of nature seems to defy itself.

From machine learning to voting, the workings of the world demand randomisation, but true sources of randomness are ...

Using cutting-edge algorithms and exascale supercomputers, researchers have created the most realistic simulations yet of matter flowing into black holes. Building on decades of research, a group of c ...

Though research on moisture-electric generators, which create energy from ambient humidity, exists, the tech isn't ready for ...

Students will face more competency-based questions, including case studies, data interpretation, source-based items, and ...

It sounds like something straight out of a science fiction film: astronauts striking a match hundreds of miles above Earth.

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. A new discovery suggests ...

In early July, astronomers spotted a mysterious object, later dubbed 3I/ATLAS after it was confirmed to be the third-ever interstellar visitor cruising through our solar system. Last week, the object, ...

The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...

To your left, the word gravid: the weight of new life. To your right, the word grave: place for putting a body once it’s become only weight. Between them: existence, ambush of amazement, you. I pause.
