Newly discovered black hole 'speed limit' hints at new laws of physics
When supermassive black holes barrel toward collision, they can reach speeds of up to 1/10th the speed of light, new research suggests.
Turns out you can transmit sound in a vacuum, just not very far
For the first time, researchers were able to transmit, or "tunnel," sound waves across extremely small distances between two crystals in a vacuum.
'Strange metals' used in superconductors can entangle whole seas of electrons at once, and scientists finally understand how
Strange metals have baffled scientists since their discovery. Now, theorists have finally come up with an explanation.
Wobbling muon experiment could reveal a 5th force of nature — if the results hold up
The discovery of wobbling muons promises to spark a revolution in physics, but more results are needed to know for sure.
Scientists uncover hidden math that governs genetic mutations
The ability of a gene to keep functioning despite mutations shows a surprising link to fundamental math.
Bizarre 'demon' particle found inside superconductor could help unlock a 'holy grail' of physics
The transparent, chargeless quasiparticle could shed more light on the underlying mechanics of superconductivity
2nd nuclear fusion breakthrough brings us a (tiny) step closer to limitless clean energy
The breakthrough marks the second time that the core of a fusion reactor has given out more energy than it has taken in, but significant challenges remain.
Room-temperature superconductors: The facts behind the 'holy grail' of physics
Claims of a room-temperature superconductor went viral last week. Here's everything we know.
