Physics can feel inscrutable to students; this lesson helps them understand a graphing problem by analyzing their own ...

Gaia’s full-sky survey generated a massive database tracking how asteroids reflect light as they rotate. These measurements, called light curves, reveal changes in brightness over time. When ...

Black holes are considered cosmic gluttons, from which not even light can escape. That is also why the images of black holes ...

She’s not alone. We’re living through the great busyness delusion — a collective hallucination where everyone thinks they’re incredibly busy, but most people are just incredibly scattered. We’ve ...

A sophisticated analysis of experimental ARPES data confirmed that the electronic properties of each chain are truly one-dimensional, and calculations further predict an exciting phase transition. For ...

Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), astronomers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS ...

Despite what you might think of a glorified spreadsheet simulator, these games aren’t grindy — they’re meditative. They ...

By developing a novel technique to get a “direct view” of its properties, MIT physicists have reported a significant ...

We measure the “warmness” of the dark matter, i.e. the comoving root-mean-square thermal velocity v hrms (1) , with nearly 3000 spiral galaxy rotation curves in the ...

Chocolate or strawberry? Life or death? We make some choices quickly and automatically, relying on mental shortcuts our brains have developed over the years to guide us in the best course of action.
