More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

The lasers alone would cost around one trillion dollars and the technology to create a nanocraft does not yet exist.

When cats fall, they usually land on their feet. This uncanny ability to right themselves before hitting the ground has long puzzled scientists. Now, a team from Yamaguchi University in Japan has the ...

A German town has been peppered by meteorites after a stunning "fireball" exploded in the skies over central Europe. One extraterrestrial fragment landed in a bedroom after punching a soccer ball-size ...

Why do falling cats always seem to land on their feet? Scientists have been arguing about the precise mechanism for a very long time—since at least 1700, in fact—conducting all manner of experiments ...

My travel schedule has become much busier recently, so I’ve been on a lot of flights. This inspired me to share what I think is a helpful metaphor. Please bear with me. In the late 1600s, Isaac Newton ...
