For the first time, scientists have the calculations and simulations to explain mysterious flashes from the galaxy OJ 287.

Laser cooling and trapping allow physicists to map the dynamics of every ion-atom encounter in a collision experiment. For many years atomic-collision experiments basically involved measuring the ...

Two weeks ago, NASA smashed a spacecraft into a small asteroid called Dimorphos, which orbits a larger rock, Didymos. The mission is formally named the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, but you might ...
