Wildfire smoke is no longer just a short‑lived air quality problem drifting over cities for a few hazy days. New research ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

The use of atomic clocks could help bring cosmology and astrophysics "down to Earth" by allowing scientists to investigate the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter in the lab. When you purchase ...

Tiny particles are opening big doors for medicine, materials science, and even environmental cleanup. Across the world, scientists are racing to understand how these microscopic swimmers behave, ...

Physicists show how microscopic particles can harness fluctuations and external forces to minimize transport energy and even extract usable work. A particle (red sphere) is guided from left to its ...

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...

Warp-drives are solutions of general relativity widely considered unphysical due to high negative energy requirements. Most research has focused on macroscopic solutions towards the goal of ...
