Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:

• The law is a bedrock of physics, but has long failed to describe systems that are out of thermodynamic equilibrium.

• The work could have applications in fields ranging from circuitry and quantum…

An earthquake-generating chunk of tectonic plate has been discovered beneath Northern California. It’s attached to the bottom of the North American plate like gum stuck to a shoe.

Using abundant, tiny, nearly imperceptible…

Deep beneath Jupiter’s stormy skies lies a crucial clue to how all the planets in our solar system formed.

In a new study, scientists used advanced computer models to peer beneath Jupiter’s dense swirling cloud tops and tackle a question that…

After more than ten years in orbit, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Sentinel-2A satellite has achieved something unexpected. Originally built to observe Earth in daylight, this aging satellite has now successfully imaged scenes on the…

Question: do sleep with your bedroom door open or closed at night? If you shut it, and you’re constantly waking up through the night, then leaving it open instead could be the instant solution to your frequent wake-ups.

Yes, scientists are…

There is a rumor going around online—on Reddit, Facebook, TikTok, and (I assume) Friendster—that gravity will stop working for seven seconds on August 12. Here is part of the warning posted online:

In November 2024, a secret…

Earth’s magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. Now you can actually ‘hear’ this epic upheaval, thanks to a clever interpretation of information collected by the European Space Agency’s Swarm satellite mission.

Stars don’t start out fully formed. Instead, they begin when clouds of diffuse gas and dust clump together, becoming denser than their surroundings. Gravity does the rest, pulling material inward until a collapsing knot becomes a compact,…
