Time-varying systems, materials with properties that change over time, have opened new possibilities for the experimental ...

The Irish mathematician and physicist William Rowan Hamilton, who was born 220 years ago last month, is famous for carving some mathematical graffiti into Dublin's Broome Bridge in 1843.

New research shows that slow oscillations in the brain, which occur during deep sleep and anesthesia, are guided by neuronal excitability rather than structural anatomy.

Unraveling the cosmic symphony of gravitational waves, from the 'Music of the Spheres' to moon-based detectors.

Atlantic water temperatures influence summer rainfall on the Tibetan Plateau, shaping water for Central Asia’s rivers, farms, ...

Planette is harnessing AI to offer financial institutions and other firms intelligence about what the weather will do over the next few months.

When you shine a flashlight into a glass of water, the beam bends. That simple observation, familiar since ancient times, hides one of the oldest puzzles in physics: what really happens to the ...

We previously covered one such “gravity telescope” with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). Another one is the Japanese project Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector (KAGRA).

The world’s best clocks may be sensitive to an odd mix of quantum and relativistic effects that would stretch time and test ...

The researchers found that a slightly curved meniscus allows more wave energy to pass through the barrier. Conversely, if the meniscus curves more steeply, it reduces the energy transported by the ...
