The unusual radio pulses were detected by the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment, a range of instruments flown on balloons high above Antarctica that are designed to detect radio ...

Eight days ago, it rained over the western Pacific Ocean near Japan. There was nothing especially remarkable about this rain event, yet it made big waves twice. First, it disturbed the atmosphere in ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

The radio waves we see from pulsars have a mysterious glitch – but now we know the ingredients that must be present in the heart of these ultra-dense stellar corpses to give their emissions a hiccup.

New multiscale simulations help crack long-standing mysteries behind the enormous radio arcs generated when galaxy clusters collide. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

"It may take decades before we find out what really happens in black holes." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Reports of the ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Neutron stars explained through stellar remnants and collapsed stars, revealing extreme density, gravity, magnetism, and ...

Perhaps the most iconic instrument in modern rock is the guitar. It's really just a bunch of strings stretched across a board, which you can strum to make awesome tunes, thanks to the physics of waves ...
