Beneath a stream of radio noise gathered over the course of a long night of observation, the signal came in quietly.

Energy efficiency in physics is not measured the way most people think about it. Instead of asking how much heat a process ...

Quasicrystals are orderly structures that never repeat. Scientists just showed they can exist in space and time.

This is an example of time dilation, a consequence of the idea that time and space are not absolute - meaning all observers do not always measure these quantities as the same. In everyday life we use ...
