What's up in
A new measurement appears to have eliminated an anomaly that had captivated physicists for nearly a decade.
While studying materials made from DNA-coated nanoparticles, researchers found a new form of this matter: lattices in which smaller particles roam like electrons in metallic bonds.
At stake are fundamental ideas about how black holes form — and a six-way bet.
Researchers agree it’s a long shot, but transmissible cancers could theoretically evolve into independent species. Certain weird parasites might be living proof.
How do black holes merge and make gravitational waves? Maybe with a little help from their friends.
Researchers found that elongating certain brain signals in rats improved their memory. The work revealed a new property to look out for in the hunt for “biomarkers” of learning.
Experimenters in Germany have glimpsed the kind of strange, non-atomic matter thought to fill the cores of merging neutron stars.
For the first time, researchers have created a scale model of the twisting loops of the sun’s magnetic field.
Tiny, dim “dwarf” galaxies have been found to hide gas-spewing black holes.
