When you wander around the internet, sometimes you can find some crazy stuff. Check this out: It's an old account of a weird phenomena created by giant plastic sheets at 3M Corporation. In short, ...

A groundbreaking study reveals how neurons sense and transmit mechanical forces across their membranes—a key to understanding touch, movement, and development.

The strong force binds quarks inside neutrons and protons, and holds atomic nuclei together. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. But ...

How did the universe come into being? There are a multitude of theories on this subject. In a Physical Review Letters paper, ...

Intriguing new results at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) point to a new force of nature that scientists don't understand. The anomaly is seen in B mesons, which are paired ...

Machine learning can get a boost from quantum physics. On certain types of machine learning tasks, quantum computers have an exponential advantage over standard computation, scientists report in the ...

Two physicists in the US have come up with a way to use a “bubble” of ultracold atoms to measure extremely small forces. The scheme, which has yet to be tested experimentally, involves monitoring the ...

Neutrinos have been caught shape-shifting in a way no one has seen before, a particle experiment has confirmed. Delayed for years by the magnitude-9 earthquake that rocked Japan in March 2011, the ...
