The researchers found that a slightly curved meniscus allows more wave energy to pass through the barrier. Conversely, if the meniscus curves more steeply, it reduces the energy transported by the ...

Think of it this way: if you roll a ball toward a wall, it will bounce back. That’s normal physics. But in the quantum world, a tiny particle might sometimes pass straight through the wall, as if the ...

Roller coasters are bumping against the limits of physics and the human body to keep their riders entertained.

Dan Shipper in Chain of Thought I’m writing a book about the worldview I’ve developed by writing, coding, and living with AI. Last week I published the first piece from it, about the differences ...

Hailed as one of the 50 most important women in science, she found ways to study rare radioactive isotopes and advanced the ...

It was in the 17th century that Christiaan Huygens and Giovanni Cassini first revealed Saturn’s stunning rings, changing the ...

By tracing when variations in the human genome first appeared, researchers have found that advances in cognitive abilities ...

Her fiction allows us to spelunk in the cave of an unwell mind, but her latest novel is disturbing in other ways, too.
