Preparations for the Spanish Soyuz mission on the International Space Station (ISS) in October took another step forward with the docking of an unmanned Progress M1-10 spacecraft with the ...

A team of scientists from the University of Notre Dame is sending a physical science experiment to the International Space Station (ISS) to better understand bubble dynamics on nanostructured surfaces ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works extremely well in its own domain: Quantum theory explains how atoms and ...

Analytical and numerical analysis gives the first indications of how physically useful information can be extracted from two-colour pump probe experiments, and how it can be distinguished from the ...

Physical-collapse theories have long offered a natural solution to the central mystery of the quantum world. But a series of increasingly precise experiments are making them untenable. How does ...

A new book covering the history of scientific inquiry invites us to marvel at the elegance of experimentation. Some philosophers have argued that “beauty” in science stands as a proxy for truth. Many ...
