Curiosity-driven research has long sparked technological transformations. A century ago, curiosity about atoms led to quantum mechanics, and eventually the transistor at the heart of modern computing.

But falling cats – they seem to manage [it].” That feline talent of twisting round in mid-air isn’t just a neat survival ...

Louisiana Tech University senior Jesse Webb will represent the United States this April at the NYU Abu Dhabi International ...

Theoretical physicists collaborate with OpenAI's artificial intelligence to solve complex calculations involving gluons and gravitons in quantum physics research.

A State College-area high school student will return home from spring break with a major research prize under his belt.

Born in Brooklyn in 1942, Freed’s scientific trajectory began early; he and his brother Jack, who himself would go on to ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

At some point, most people have found themselves holding a tilted carton of milk or bottle of cooking oil, patiently waiting for the last drops to drip out. Now, physicists at Brown University have ...

Imagination has never been the most intractable problem in the physics of warp drive; it has been bookkeeping. The Alcubierre concept of 1994, the celebrated one, fits in the general relativity theory ...

Choosing the right method for multimodal AI—systems that combine text, images, and more—has long been trial and error. Emory ...

The San Francisco Unified School District is investigating a math teacher at Lowell High School amid questions about his teaching methods.

Mathematicians just made a big leap forward on one of the field’s all-time favorite problems. Curves—squiggly lines through space, such as a comet’s trajectory or a stock market trend—are some of math ...
