This research suggests that even chaotic, unpredictable phenomena, like waves on a shore or the beating of a heart, can be ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

Nature has many rhythms: the seasons result from Earth's movement around the sun, the ticking of a pendulum clock results ...

In a dual set of papers published in Science last week, an international group of researchers presented an experiment which used relativistic time dilation to measure the curvature of spacetime. The ...

Scientists working on Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment released the world's most precise measurement yet of the magnetic moment of the muon, bringing particle physics closer to the ultimate showdown ...

Researchers Mitsuyoshi Kamba, Naoki Hara, and Kiyotaka Aikawa of the University of Tokyo have successfully demonstrated ...

A U.S. research lab has announced one of the most precise measurements ever of how a subatomic particle behaves, teeing up a showdown that could either vindicate one of science’s most powerful ...

This isotope is a popular choice for nuclear physics research because its nucleus ... They determined that there was a time interval of about five seconds between each switch – a measurement that they ...

The concept of quantum entanglement is emblematic of the gap between classical and quantum physics. Referring to a situation ...

Physicists are increasingly using ultracold molecules to study quantum states of matter. Many researchers contend that molecules have advantages over other alternatives, such as trapped ions, atoms or ...
