This week, among a lot of other important findings, we learned that emperor cichlid fish have gaze sensitivity and dislike it ...

A compact terahertz imaging system has achieved near video-rate scanning at a spatial resolution of around 360 micrometers, ...

The GWEC produces electricity using a spinning flywheel housed within a floating structure. As the platform moves with the waves, the flywheel converts that motion into energy. Because the system ...

Over the past decades, quantum scientists have introduced various technologies that operate leveraging quantum mechanical effects, including quantum sensors, computers and memory devices. Most of ...

Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime produced by violent cosmic events, such as the merging of black holes. So far, direct detections have relied on measuring tiny distance changes over kilome ...

A recent line of inquiry explores how atomic systems behave when immersed in curved spacetime, particularly under the influence of gravitational waves. In a new study, scientists show that ...

When high-voltage electricity breaks out in open air, it rips through the atmosphere, forming chaotic, branching fingers of electric plasma. These electrical arcs are difficult to control. They branch ...

Although commonly described as a tsunami, the titular wave in The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai is more likely an example of a large rogue wave. For centuries, sailors spoke of two maritime ...

Time crystals sound like something out of a SciFi movie, but they are real and easier to see than ever.

A new quantum system called giant superatoms could protect quantum information and enable entanglement between multiple qubits. The concept merges giant atoms and superatoms to improve stability and ...

A soaring cosmic symphony surrounds us; its notes emerge from massive celestial objects crashing together hundreds of millions or even billions of light-years away. Ever since astronomers announced ...
