Scientists have long known that Earth's core is mostly made of iron, but the density is not high enough for it to be pure ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

As much as 45 oceans’ worth of hydrogen may be in Earth’s core, scientists reported, suggesting most of Earth’s water was ...

A new scientific revelation reveals that deep in the Earth’s core lies a good amount of hydrogen as well as a large amount of ...

Scientists have a solid understanding of what makes up spindles — the cellular machinery that separates chromosomes — but are less certain about how the building blocks of spindles, called ...

Shrinking transistors has driven computing performance for decades, but the approach is hitting physical ...

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its ...

The world’s largest neutrino detector just got even more powerful after scientists successfully deployed ...

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, hosted by the US Department of Energy’s Fermi National ...

Rather than delid the $12,000 workstation chip, the team reverse-engineered its heat spreader to design a replacement from scratch. They borrowed an integrated heat spreader (IHS) ...

Although superfluids flow indefinitely, scientists just witnessed one stopping. It could be evidence of a superfluid ...
