The choreographed movements that cells perform to form complex biological shapes, like our hands, have fascinated scientists ...

When a spacecraft enters a thick atmosphere at a high velocity, it rapidly compresses the gas in front of it. This creates temperatures high enough to ionize the gas molecules into a hot, dense plasma ...

Artificial intelligence is accelerating material discovery and design by automating analysis, guiding experiments, and enabling predictive modeling across spectroscopy, microscopy, and synthesis.

THE STANDARD MODEL of particle physics—completed in 1973—is the jewel in the crown of modern physics. It predicts the properties of elementary particles and forces with mind-boggling accuracy. Take ...

How did science get started? A few years back, we looked at one answer to that question in the form of a book called The Invention of Science. In it, British historian David Wootton places the origin ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...
