For half a century, astrophysicists have been trying to solve the Black Hole Information Paradox—first explained by Stephen ...

From a telescope network that spans much of the globe to a psychology study that spans 67 countries, here are the biggest ...

String theory remains our best candidate for a theory of everything, but where can it be tested? By studying black holes, ...

Cold laser therapy beams light energy at your skin to reduce pain and inflammation deep within an area of your body, like your knee. It’s used to treat knee pain from osteoarthritis (OA), as ...

"If we lose one atom, that doesn't seem like the end of the world. But if we apply many laser pulses of light to boost the atom interferometer's ability to amplify small signals, those errors will ...

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime They are caused by some of the most violent and energetic processes They are a prediction of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity The ...

In 2016, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) collaboration announced the first detection of gravitational waves. These ripples in space-time caused by massive cosmic ...
