Physicists have devised a new model to account for the discomfort that airline passengers know all too well.

Tokamaks are machines that are meant to hold and harness the power of the sun. These fusion machines use powerful magnets to contain a plasma hotter than the sun's core and push the plasma's atoms to fuse and release energy.

Rice University study shows quantum entanglement speeds molecular energy transfer, offering insights for future solar technologies.

For science-fiction enthusiasts, that’s a bit depressing. Space is big, and while the speed of light is incredibly fast to us humans, on interstellar scales it’s glacially slow. Even at a photon’s speed of about 300,000 kilometers per second, it’s a journey of more than four years to reach just the closest star to the sun.

For years, researchers have puzzled over how the ancient people of Rapa Nui did the seemingly impossible and moved their iconic moai statues. Using a combination of physics, 3D modeling and on-the-ground experiments,

A recent resurgence of interest in a bold cosmological theory has reignited debate about the nature of dark matter, the Big Bang, and the possible existence of a mirror universe. Originally proposed in a 2018 peer-reviewed paper published in the Annals of ...
