In physics, breakthroughs are rare. Experiments are slow, expensive and often end up refining, rather than rewriting, our understanding of the universe. But what if the only constraint on scientific ...

A thought experiment that was at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally been made real. Its findings elucidate one of the core mysteries ...

While many of the experiments it will conduct in the coming months are classified, the Space Force has identified space-based laser communications and quantum sensing as two of its focus areas.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. There are precision measurements, and then there’s the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. In each of LIGO’s twin ...

WASHINGTON — Veterans injured in secret military experiments that tested hallucinogens and nerve gas on young troops more than 50 years ago said their renewed appeals for retroactive disability ...

The National Institutes of Health defended a grant awarded to a study experimenting on 2-month-old kittens after the agency promised to “phase out” dog and cat testing. The study involves surgeons ...

These simple, DIY science experiments for kids will help combat "summer slide" — and your kids will be having so much fun, they won't even notice that their brains are getting a workout. The best part ...
