A team of researchers from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of British Columbia, Canada, has tackled the question ‘what causes the slow accelerating expansion of the Universe’ in a study that tries to resolve a major incompatibility issue between two theories: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of general relativity.
Forget everything you knew about gas giants, because based on the latest results from the Juno mission, we were wrong. We were so wrong.
Herpetologists are claiming they have discovered a new species of frog living in the Amazonian lowlands of Ecuador.
Early science results from NASA’s Juno mission to Jupiter portray the largest planet in our solar system as a complex, gigantic, turbulent world, with Earth-sized polar cyclones, plunging storm systems that travel deep into the heart of the gas giant, and a mammoth, lumpy magnetic field that may indicate it was generated closer to the planet’s surface than previously thought.
Perhaps one of the most intriguing and interesting phenomena in quantum physics is what Einstein referred to as a “spooky action at a distance” — also known as quantum entanglement.
The stem cells that produce our blood have been created in the lab for the first time.
Researchers have developed the world’s thinnest metallic nanowire, which could be used to miniaturise many of the electronic components we use every day.
