In 1973, Xerox engineers invented the ethernet connection, which allowed the first personal computers to communicate with a ...

The reference frames from which observers view quantum events can themselves have multiple possible locations at once — an ...

A 1930s-era breakthrough is helping physicists understand how quantum threads could weave together into a holographic space-time fabric. Until his dying days, the giant of 20th-century physics ...

The clearest picture yet of our “last universal common ancestor” suggests it was a relatively complex organism living 4.2 ...

With lots of data, a strong model and statistical thinking, scientists can make predictions about all sorts of complex phenomena. Today, this practice is evolving to harness the power of machine ...

Black holes are inescapable traps for most of what falls into them — but there can be exceptions. The theoretical physicist Leonard Susskind speaks with co-host Janna Levin about the black hole ...
