Math and physics explain the anguish of a golf ball that zings around the rim of the hole instead of falling in.

Researchers have found a way to use material defects – long regarded as a hindrance in electronics – as a quantum advantage.

In this video, we explore Noether's theorem and its implications on the fundamental conservation laws in physics. **Chapters: ...

A new survey of 500,000 stars finds only 0.28% host close-in giants, showing how aging Sun-like stars drag their planets to destruction.

A newly formed black hole, GW190412, was captured fleeing at 180,000 km/h; scientists track its entire cosmic trajectory for the first time.

Topological insulators could form the basis for revolutionary electronic components. However, as they generally only function at very low ...
