What lies at the heart of a black hole has puzzled physicists for decades. Now, a team led by physicist Enrico Rinaldi has taken a bold approach to the mystery. By using quantum computing and ...

It is possible to make a material emit more radiation than it absorbs, violating the laws of physics in a way that could make energy-harvesting devices more efficient ...

It’s relatively easy to explain how an arrangement of particles could be functionally conscious. That’s because a “function” can be defined in wholly physical terms.

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong studying the structure of 2D materials have predicted new types of phase transitions that have yet to be seen in experiments ...

But if those particles aren't strange enough for you, I'm here to help. There are other particles that are so rare, we're not even sure they exist. Here are five of the weirdest, rarest ...

A new study from Columbia University found that each bottle of water can contain hundreds of thousands of nanoplastics. Researchers, public health experts and bottled water groups chimed in.

Researchers found roughly 240,000 detectable plastic fragments in a typical liter of bottled water. Most of them were nanoplastics — particles less than 1 micrometer in size.
