PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - As we have shown you repeatedly, some things may act differently than you expect when it comes to physics. If I were to put rope or string into a cup with a weight on the end of ...

The latest visitor from deep space is leaving a mark that stretches far beyond its icy core. Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is ...

This increased degree of penetration facilitates the crystallographic analysis of real devices such as lithium-ion batteries and the execution of high-pressure experiments using e.g. diamond anvil ...

An experiment on the side of an extinct volcano in Mexico involving gamma rays is helping scientists answer a fundamental question in physics: Is the speed of light the same throughout the universe?

An international collaboration has announced the results of the first scientific experiments at Europe's new X-ray laser European XFEL. The pioneering work not only demonstrates that the new research ...
