Archaeologists and student excavators uncovered a Viking Age pit full of dismembered remains near Cambridge, England.

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying on any external clock...

The strongest known form of quantum-secure communication is no longer limited to tabletop experiments. The post Scientists Send Secure Quantum Keys Over 62 Miles of Fiber-Without Trusted Devices appeared first on Singula...

We dont experience the world through neat, separate senses-everything blends together. Smell, touch, sound, sight, and balance constantly influence one another, shaping how food tastes, objects feel, and even how heavy o...

A possible alternative to active debris removal (ADR) by laser is ablative propulsion by a remotely transmitted electron beam (e-beam). The e-beam ablation has been widely used in industries, and it might provide higher ...

The newly discovered sungrazing comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) will undergo an extremely close slingshot around our star in early April, and could become bright enough to be seen without a telescope during the day.

Ripples in space-time from a pair of merging black holes have been recorded in unprecedented detail, enabling physicists to test predictions of general relativity

As quantum computers continue to advance, many of today's encryption systems face the risk of becoming obsolete. A powerful alternative-quantum cryptography-offers security based on the laws of physics instead of com...

Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have performed the largest direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbu...

Save $100 on the Levoit Sprout, an excellent all-in-one appliance that combines an air purifier, a night light and a white noise machine.

Scientists have pinpointed a group of bacteria that consistently appear in high numbers in healthy people, suggesting that these could one day be targeted through diet or probiotics

People classed as overweight according to BMI can be perfectly healthy. But there are better measures of fat, and physicians are finally using them

Quantum materials and superconductors are difficult enough to understand on their own. Unconventional superconductors, which cannot be explained within the framework of standard theory, take the enigma to an entirely new...

The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in the planetary atmosphere. This phenomenon is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations-a set of ...

Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions-oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons-circulated through the twin 2.4-mile-circumference rings of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and cr...

A type of cognitive training that tests people's quick recall seems to reduce the risk of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease

Paul Erds was one of the most prolific mathematicians to ever live, known for showing up at the door of others in the field and declaring they should host and feed him while they do maths together. His radical life shoul...

A team of physicists from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with collaborators, has identified the dominant physical mechanism responsible for energy release in the nuclea...

One type of friction can waste energy even when two perfectly smooth surfaces move against each other, but researchers are getting a handle on how to attenuate or stop it completely

Among the sandals discovered in Tut's tomb is a pair whose insoles were decorated with images of the boy king's enemies.

In order to build the computers and devices of tomorrow, we have to understand how they use energy today. That's harder than it sounds. Memory storage, information processing, and energy use in these technologies inv...
