In this story, not much is as it first seemed.

NASA and its international partners have hosted research experiments and fostered collaboration aboard the International Space Station for over 25 years. More

Scientists have found an elusive third form of magnetism that could help solve a longstanding puzzle about superconductors.

Important: The International Space Station orbits with an inclination of 51.6 degrees. This means that, as it orbits, the farthest north and south of the

Was Vincent van Gogh the original chaos theorist? While we admire the beauty of "The Starry Night," physicists decided to crash the party and analyze its swirling sky like a science experiment. It turns out van Gogh wasn't just painting stars and spirals; he was capturing the essence of turbulent flow. Who needs an advanced degree in fluid dynamics when you have a paintbrush and an eye for chaos?

A new study led by Rice University's Qimiao Si has unveiled a new class of quantum critical metal, shedding light on the intricate interactions of electrons within quantum materials. Published in Physical Review Letters on Sept. 6, the research explores the effects of Kondo coupling and chiral spin liquids within specific lattice structures.

The Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3) team received data indicating official confirmation of the sail's deployment on Thursday at 5:33 UTC (1:33 p.m. EDT). The deployment...

Snell's window is one of the coolest phenomena in the natural world. You've seen it, but do you know what causes it?

When an object hits a body of water vertically, it is accompanied by a strong hydrodynamic force fueled by the flow of water around it, which propels it forward. The magnitude of this force is known to vary depending on the mass of the object hitting the water.

As lunar missions gain momentum, the demand for advanced navigation technologies that exceed traditional Earth-based systems grows. A new study addresses the challenges of weak Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals and spacecraft maneuvers in the lunar space, emphasizing the need for sophisticated integrated navigation systems.

Psyche has fired up its Hall thrusters, a kind of electric engine that has no moving parts and flies by creating plasma, on its way to study an asteroid up close.

A new study by scientists from Japan explores the propagation of quantum information within interacting boson systems like Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), revealing the potential for accelerated transmission unlike previously thought.

The element bismuth can "float" between magnets due to magnetic levitation. What's the science behind this phenomenon?

A stunning new map of the magnetic fields at the Milky Way's center charts never-before-seen features, and raises new questions about how our galaxy's central engine works.

For more than a decade it has been possible for physicists to accurately measure the location of individual atoms to a precision smaller than one-thousandth of a millimeter using a special type of microscope. However, this method has so far only provided the x and y coordinates. Information on the vertical position of the atom is lacking.

The final confirmation has arrived.

Scientists at Aalto University have proposed a three-dimensional metamaterial with an isotropic effect in the visible spectral range.

Space is a harsh place, with freezing temperatures, harmful radiation and a near-vacuum. So, what would happen to the body of an astronaut that was exposed to space's elements?

It's not about particle-antiparticle pairs falling into or escaping from a black hole. A deeper explanation alters our view of reality.
