A former NASA engineer working on a propellant-less propulsion drive has claimed that the device can deliver enough thrust to achieve lift in Earth's gravity, an effect which should not take place ...

Scientists then defined the “edge” of this gaseous material by introducing a laser, which formed a wall around the atoms. Once atoms encountered this light, they flowed in just one direction—much like ...

Born 175 years ago, James Clerk Maxwell carried out the first profound unification of nature’s forces. Francis Everitt examines the immense contributions of the greatest mathematical physicist since ...
