Three high schoolers and their mentor revisited a century-old theorem to prove that all knots can be found in a fractal ...

In 1973, Xerox engineers invented the ethernet connection, which allowed the first personal computers to communicate with a ...

The reference frames from which observers view quantum events can themselves have multiple possible locations at once — an ...

The clearest picture yet of our “last universal common ancestor” suggests it was a relatively complex organism living 4.2 ...

With lots of data, a strong model and statistical thinking, scientists can make predictions about all sorts of complex phenomena. Today, this practice is evolving to harness the power of machine ...

The reference frames from which observers view quantum events can themselves have multiple possible locations at once — an insight with potentially major ramifications. A new experimental proposal ...

Is physics finished? The 21st century is often called the age of biology. Or artificial intelligence. Or any other emerging field. This relegates physics to the previous century — the golden days when ...

A 1930s-era breakthrough is helping physicists understand how quantum threads could weave together into a holographic space-time fabric. Until his dying days, the giant of 20th-century physics ...

All modern multicellular life — all life that any of us regularly see — is made of cells with a knack for compartmentalization. Recent discoveries are revealing how the first eukaryote got its start.
