This experiment tests how a boat behaves in a supercritical fluid, revealing surprising physics about density, buoyancy, and extreme states of matter.

In the 17th century, astronomers Christiaan Huygens and Giovanni Cassini trained their telescopes on Saturn and uncovered a ...

According to the equations that govern black holes, the larger one of these cosmic behemoths is the lower its average density ...

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

We know the Earth’s inner core is largely solid, which sets a ceiling on its temperature, and in turn, how much heat dark ...

For decades, astronomers have believed that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the universe. However, a new study ...

New studies of the “platypus of materials” help explain how their atoms arrange themselves into orderly, but nonrepeating, ...

Ice generates electricity as a response to stress when it bends. Experiments with pure and saline ice found that with enough salt, that electrical charge becomes exponentially greater. Not only is all ...
