Dark matter's secret identity could be hiding in distorted 'Einstein rings'
Researchers may be a step closer to identifying dark matter after studying unusual cases of gravitational lensing caused by "dark matter halos" surrounding distant galaxies.
World's heaviest Schrödinger's cat made in quantum crystal visible to the naked eye
Physicists have placed part of a sapphire crystal into a quantum superposition, making it the heaviest object to show quantum effects, in a new take on Erwin Schrödinger's famous cat experiment.

Newly discovered 'einstein' tile is a 13-sided shape that solves a decades-old math problem
A new 13-sided shape is the first example of an elusive "einstein" — a single shape that can be tiled infinitely without repeating a pattern.
High school students may have just discovered an 'impossible' proof to the 2,000-year-old Pythagorean theorem
Two high school seniors have presented their proof of the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry — which mathematicians thought to be impossible — at an American Mathematical Society meeting.
