The discovery that apparently dead cells can sometimes resurrect themselves has researchers exploring how far they can push the point of no return.

A recent test has confirmed the predictions of quantum trajectory theory.

Mathematicians have proved that a random process applied to a random surface will yield consistent patterns.

To researchers’ surprise, deep learning vision algorithms often fail at classifying images because they mostly take cues from textures, not shapes.

Lee Smolin’s radical idea to reimagine how we view the universe.

Lurking behind Einstein’s theory of gravity and our modern understanding of particle physics is the deceptively simple idea of symmetry. But physicists are beginning to question whether focusing on symmetry is still as productive as it once was.

Opinions differ about what recent measurements of a sound-trapping fluid reveal about light-trapping black holes.

Researchers struggle to incorporate ongoing evolutionary discoveries into an animal classification scheme older than Darwin.

What do moiré patterns seen in optics, art, photography and color printing have to do with superconducting layers of graphene?
