Six physicists weigh in on the impact of the LHC and where science goes from here.
Virologists have a new weapon in the war against viruses – a way to tag and track individual viruses that are too small to be viewed with light microscopes.
Tesla coils, superconductors, and hilarious music videos are great reasons to be excited about physics. Here are some of our favorites.
This is the beginning of the America's dark future.
The tireless tongue already controls taste and speech, helps kiss and swallow and fights germs. Now scientists hope to add one more ability to the mouthy muscle, and turn it into a computer control pad.Georgia Tech researchers believe a magnetic, tongue-powered system could transform a disabled person's mouth into a virtual computer...
It has been called an Alice in Wonderland investigation into the makeup of the universe — or dangerous tampering with nature that could spell doomsday. Whatever the case, the most powerful atom-smasher ever built comes online Wednesday, eagerly anticipated by scientists worldwide who have awaited this moment for two decades
Using time-lapse photography and real-time digital video, plant biologist Roger Hangarter and undergrad filmmaker Samuel Orr captured this remarkable life cycle in a 5-minute film complete with soundtrack and descriptive text.
Whether they are blasting apart subatomic particles in accelerators, sequencing the genome or analyzing the wobble of a distant star, the experiments that grab the world's attention often cost millions of dollars to execute and produce torrents of data to be processed over months by supercomputers. Some research groups have grown to the size of...
Archaeologists have unearthed the mysterious remains of what first appears to be a couple buried together arm in arm more than 1,000 years ago.
The man in the cheap brown jacket stood slumped in line, staring at the ground. His hands were fidgety, reaching repeatedly into his inside jacket pocket, or patting it from the outside. A momentary look of anguish, just 1/15th of a second or so, occasionally flashed across his face
The start up of the biggest experiment on the planet has inspired a science rap song that has become an unlikely global hit.
Woolly mammoths migrated to North America, then back to Siberia, according to a new scientific analysis.
The Large Hadron Collider is not just an extraordinary science experiment, it is also a remarkable engineering undertaking. Just getting it built is an astonishing story in itself.
For the first time ever, scientists at Israeli universities were able to watch patients remembering individual memories. More so, they were able to predict which memory their patients' brain would recreate. A fundamental finding in the memory puzzle.
Interesting that the memory of the Simpsons is more resilient than the Statue of Liberty.
Researchers in Italy and Britain have found that the main active ingredient in marijuana — tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC — and related compounds show promise as antibacterial agents, particularly against microbial strains that are already resistant to several classes of drugs. Digg it for the thumbnail of the THC-Enhanced Bacteria Devourer!
