Innovation flourishes not because people collaborate more broadly but because the right people fall into productive orbit ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

An evolution-inspired framework for how quantum fuzziness gives rise to our classical world shows that even imperfect ...

As organisms develop from embryos, groups of cells migrate and reshape themselves to form all manner of complex tissues.

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...

Some things are easier to achieve if you're not alone. As researchers from the University of Rostock, Germany have shown, this very human insight also applies to the most fundamental building blocks ...

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

After a two-year gap, there will be two total solar eclipses within 12 months of each other, on Aug. 12, 2026, and Aug. 2, ...

The moon will be closest to the Pleiades in the hours following sunset.

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

The University of Delaware’s Department of Physics and Astronomy offers an undergraduate major program leading to the B.S. in physics, with the option of a concentration in astronomy/astrophysics, as ...

Time has an arrow: It only ever seems to move in one direction. The future is always unknown to us, while the past forever remains locked and inaccessible. And yet, the vast majority of the laws of ...
