Mathematicians find 12,000 new solutions to 'unsolvable' 3-body problem
Calculating the way three things orbit each other is notoriously tricky — but a new study may reveal 12,000 new ways to make it work.
How fast is a bullet?
The answer depends on the design of the bullet and the gun, as well as on what happens once the bullet leaves the muzzle.
Unknown ultra-light particles linked to dark matter could be found using atomic clocks
The use of atomic clocks could help bring cosmology and astrophysics "down to Earth" by allowing scientists to investigate the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter in the lab.
How do mirages work?
What are mirages and why does this optical phenomenon cause us to see reality differently?
'Doubly magic' form of oxygen may challenge a fundamental law of physics
After scientists created oxygen-28 in the lab, it almost immediately degraded, baffling physicists around the world.
What is the strong force?
Reference The strong force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. Learn how it fits into the Standard Model of particle physics.
Dark matter could be building up inside dead stars — with potentially explosive consequences
Invisible dark matter may be gathering in the ultra-dense innards of neutron stars, potentially causing them to detonate in massive explosions.
Math's 'hairy ball theorem' shows why there's always at least one place on Earth where no wind blows
Here's what the hairiest problem in math can teach us about wind, antennas and nuclear fusion.
