This week, researchers published LIGO findings that hint at the existence of second-generation black holes. Astronomers ...

Driving a spacecraft around a planet isn’t anything like driving on a planet. A physicist explains orbital navigation.

Machine learning models are designed to take in data, to find patterns or relationships within those data, and to use what ...

Quantum entanglement is one seriously long-distance relationship. Quantum entanglement occurs when two subatomic particles become linked in such a way that their properties remain connected, no matter ...

Virtual particles exploit the natural fuzziness of the subatomic world, where if these ephemeral particles live briefly enough, they can also briefly borrow their energy from empty space. The haziness ...

Could global positioning systems become more precise and provide more accurate details on distances for users to get from ...

Quantum entanglement occurs when two subatomic particles become linked in such a way that their properties remain connected, no matter how far apart they are. A change to one particle seems to ...

Real particles are lumps of energy that can be "seen" or detected by appropriate instruments; this feature is what makes them ...

Another interesting consequence of relativity is that as time stretches out at high speeds, distances diminish. It’s hard to ...

These incredible animals seem to defy the laws of physics with the way they transcend time and space, and we are amazed.

The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...
