A study reconstructs the chemical composition of key molecules in stars by analyzing their infrared fingerprints.

In a recent paper [1], the author shows that in spacetime physics, the Selleri transformations (STs) are viable alternatives ...

At the most fundamental levels, science often challenges common sense. And a new finding might be the most nonsensical of them all: liquids break. A recent Physical Review Letters paper, “Unexpected ...

Unruly Republic: With artificial intelligence disaster looming, we’re told to empower experts, raise taxes! Could we be heading into another version of climate alarmism? Photo: Noah Berger/AP/Vincent ...

Colorado State University will host its annual Little Shop of Physics Open House on March 1. The event features over 300 hands-on science experiments for all ages at the Lory Student Center. More than ...

For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...

Learn how basic physics can be used to estimate solar power output with simple, logical calculations. This video explains solar irradiance, energy conversion, and efficiency in a clear, intuitive ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to disprove the quantum mechanical principle of complementarity put forth by ...

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in ...

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 ...

In this episode we explore the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, a decades-long effort to build the most ambitious particle-physics project ever attempted on American soil. We follow the story ...

Quantum physics can seem pretty tough at first, but there are a lot of books out there that make it way less scary. If you’re just starting out and want to learn about quantum physics without getting ...
