An algorithm that efficiently determines directional information from histogram data can be applied to neutrinos and other ...

A near-100-year-old debate between the theoretical physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr has finally been settled—and not in the former’s favor. A team of physicists in China have realized a ...

A physics experiment published this year that claimed to measure a single photon in two places at once – and, in the process, discredit the idea of a multiverse – drew pushback from many sceptical ...

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Jennifer L. Holm’s “Outside” and Rebecca Stead’s “The Experiment” both feature well-meaning grown-ups who do everything to protect their kids — and fail. By Gayle Forman Gayle Forman is the author of ...

For 34 years, Dutch inventor Theo Jansen has been evolving his Strandbeests — wind-powered walking skeletons designed to survive on the beach like living creatures. Each generation overcame challenges ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. It’s a little complicated to weigh a dying person on a hospital ...

Abstract: Directional couplers are a fundamental building block in integrated photonics, particularly in quantum applications and optimization-based design where precision is critical. Accurate ...

In the early days of the year 1800, a young boy wandered out of the woods. He had, at some point, lived among human beings—his tattered shirt attested to that, as did a distinctive scar on his neck ...

ALL WEEK LONG. IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT HURRICANE IAN WAS JUST THREE YEARS AGO. IT DRAMATICALLY IMPACTED OUR COASTLINE, DAMAGING HOMES TO COASTAL EROSION. THE IMPACT ON COASTAL COMMUNITIES HAS BECOME ...

In the everyday world that humans experience, objects behave in a predictable way, explained by classical physics. One of the important aspects of classical physics is that nothing, not even ...
