Researchers cracked a 50-year-old math problem scribbled by Richard Feynman over lunch. The equations show that humans are better decision-makers than scientists once thought.

Despite dozens of experiments over the years, scientists still don't have a precise measurement for gravity's strength. Why is that?

Physicists used quantum bits to achieve 'perfect randomness' in a world-first experiment. The results of their research could strengthen cryptography and other security systems.

A new experiment confirms that photons passing through a cloud of atoms can spend a negative amount of time there, and the atoms themselves are the ones saying so.

Have you ever wondered how likely it is to find a message in a bottle, especially an old one? Let's do the math.

For the first time, researchers measured singularities in combined light and sound waves moving faster than the speed of light. The findings have implications in fluid dynamics, optics and many other fields.

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades in the making, could help physicists probe the relationship between quantum mechanics and gravity.

CERN scientists transported antimatter by truck for the first time, enabling ultraprecise studies that could reveal why matter dominates the universe.

A new physics paper proposes modifications to Einstein’s theory of relativity that could solve one of the biggest issues about our understanding of the Big Bang.

Using a new method, physicists found a way to 'catapult' electrons across solar materials in quadrillionths of a second.

Monday, March 16, 2026: Your daily shot of the biggest science stories making headlines.

Researchers made small, pure samples of the elusive mineral lonsdaleite – also known as hexagonal diamond — and tested its material properties to show it's harder than diamond.

A single server smashed the pi world record, churning out 314 trillion digits in 110 days.

Using a phenomenon called "negative light," scientists invisibly transferred data disguised as background thermal radiation.

The introduction of AI into mathematics represents a seismic shift in what it means to do math.

The tiny bots follow patterns of light and "artificial space-time," navigating like craft following the curved space around a black hole.

An academic dives into the physics of multiple dimensions and whether it's possible to tie a knot in 4D.

Ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves may be the key to solving the Hubble tension — one of the biggest nagging problems in physics.

Your weight doesn't change because of gravity but because the floor pushes back. Physicists explain why elevators briefly make you feel heavier or lighter.

Harvard engineers think they've found the reason basketball shoes squeak, and it's due to pockets of friction between the rubber and the court.

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we can't verify them. How will we know if they're right?

Scientists saw a quark plowing through primordial plasma for the first time, offering a rare look at the first moments after the Big Bang

A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity to its toughest test yet.

The National Science Foundation's massive IceCube neutrino detector at the South Pole just got a major new upgrade, which promises to take the search for "ghost particles" to a new level.

New research using a space-time phenomenon predicted by Einstein presents evidence that the invisible backbone of the universe may be much "fuzzier" than we realized.

Physicists saw excitons, a type of quasiparticle, undergo a reversible phase transition from superfluid to supersolid for the first time, opening new doors for studying extreme states of matter.

A team of researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope has produced the most detailed map of dark matter to date.
