The Sun is not nailed to the center of the solar system. It moves, wobbles, and traces a small loop through space, tugged by ...

Researchers at IIT Bombay have proposed a new test, dynamical fidelity susceptibility (DFS), to measure the 'quantumness' of gravity, suggesting that conventional entanglement-based tests may be ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have proposed a new test to measure the “quantumness” of gravity after finding that conventional “quantum entanglement-based” tests may be ...

The first time I heard about galaxies without dark matter, I was sitting in my very first graduate class at the University of São Paulo. A team had found a small, strange galaxy that appeared to ...

Dimensions beyond the four we’re familiar with could solve a host of problems in physics and cosmology. Columnist Leah Crane ...

Researchers uncover the physics behind snakes that rise nearly straight up and balance on narrow perches with surprising efficiency.

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that ...

The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is one of the Milky Way's closest galactic neighbors—a small, gas-rich galaxy visible to the ...

Forces have mediator particles. Electromagnetism is mediated by the photons, for example. So most of the decay of this excited dark matter particle would be this unknown mediator. The excited state ...

Astronomers have identified a strange new kind of exoplanet that challenges how scientists classify worlds beyond our Solar System. The planet, L 98-59 d, appears to contain a vast ocean of molten ...

The Gaia telescope spotted more than 6,000 sunlike stars, all of which appear to have migrated from the galaxy's center more ...
