Aaron Lauda has been exploring an area of mathematics that most physicists have seen little use for, wondering if it might have practical applications. In a twist even he didn’t expect, it turns out ...

The rainbow crosswalk in front of Orlando's Pulse nightclub was removed by Florida transportation officials. The crosswalk was a memorial for those killed in a 2016 mass shooting at the gay bar.

Mathematicians have found a way to transform an unproductive quantum computing approach by reviving a class of previously discarded particles. Now, in a new study published in the journal Nature ...

On Friday, a gunman opened fire on the CDC campus in Atlanta and a police officer was killed. The shooting has left employees uncertain about how safe they are at their jobs. On Friday afternoon, a ...

What if particles don't slow down in a crowd, but move faster? Physicists from Leiden worked together and discovered a new state of matter, where particles pass on energy through collisions and create ...

React conquered XSS? Think again. That's the reality facing JavaScript developers in 2025, where attackers have quietly evolved their injection techniques to exploit everything from prototype ...

A new review pulls together decades of research on tire wear particles (TWPs) – the tiny bits that break off tires and get washed away. It turns out wind and rain can sweep huge amounts of these ...

In a twist on conventional wisdom, researchers have discovered that in ocean-like fluids with changing density, tiny porous particles can sink faster than larger ones, thanks to how they absorb salt.

Dartmouth researchers propose that dark matter began as light-speed particles that suddenly gained mass through spin interactions and cooling. Their theory, inspired by superconductivity, outlines a ...
