A Massachusetts college student stumbled upon a liquid that appears to regain its shape without an obvious energy source, baffling physicists. The so‑called “shape‑recovering” liquid, made from oil, ...

The muon mismatch was caused by calculation limits, not a new force. Improved methods bring theory and experiment into close ...

In 1927, physicist Thomas Parnell poured hot pitch into a funnel at the University of Queensland. In this context, “pitch” is ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

Particles of light that effectively exist in 37 dimensions at once have been used to test an extreme version of a quantum paradox. “This experiment shows that quantum physics is more nonclassical than ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it ...
