The biggest breakthrough in modern theoretical physics is the discovery that gravity can collapse the dimensions of space.

The James Webb Space Telescope spots mysterious “little red dots” everywhere. A bold new theory suggests they’re suns dozens ...

Half of our genome is made of transposons — snips of DNA that can move and copy themselves. But they’re more than parasites ...

Scientists have a history of trying — and failing — to link biology and quantum mechanics. The real connection between them may be in the math.

Comb jellies are helping answer fundamental questions in biology, from how the earliest nervous systems evolved to how ...

According to Einstein’s theory of gravity, black holes have only a small handful of distinguishing characteristics. Quantum theory implies they may have more. Now an experimental search finds that any ...

The biggest breakthrough in modern theoretical physics is the discovery that gravity can collapse the dimensions of space. Physicists don’t yet understand the implications. Biology Might Not Be ...

The biggest breakthrough in modern theoretical physics is the discovery that gravity can collapse the dimensions of space. Physicists don’t yet understand the implications. Black Holes or Black Hole ...

Making ice requires more than subzero temperatures. The unpredictable process takes microscopic scaffolding, random jiggling and often a little bit of bacteria. Elise Cutts is one of those ...

In 2004, two mathematicians hypothesized a powerful kind of sandwich. They were studying graphs, which are collections of points (called vertices) and lines (called edges). Graphs might represent ...

Off the coast of Japan, biologists netted a pea-size jellyfish with an unusual circadian clock — a chance finding that suggests there are likely more overlooked biological timekeeping mechanisms to be ...
