DNA is capable of encoding all sorts of data. Storing it in an amberlike material may keep that information safe for nearly forever.
The nuclear fuel of the future may be HALEU, high-assay low-enriched uranium. But questions about the material remain.
A new study claims to confirm that the inner core is now rotating more slowly than it was over a decade ago, but some researchers remain skeptical.
A “kugelblitz” is a black hole made of concentrated electromagnetic energy. But it’s not possible to make one, according to new calculations.
The experiment is a step toward testing how quantum physics interfaces with gravity.
Two centuries on, scientists are still seeking a proof of the Second Law and why heat always flows from hot to cold.
Made of heavy relatives of the electron, the exotic atoms could be used to test the theory of quantum electrodynamics.
Scientists successfully entangled quantum memories linked by telecommunications fibers across two different urban environments.
Ice’s weirdly slick exterior might originate from the boundaries between two different types of ice that form on the surface of frozen water.
