There’s no scientific basis for the view that lab dogs are inherently different from pets, or that they were somehow not ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

Medical experiments on research dogs could be phased out soon — a change that’s based as much on science as ethics. Pressure ...

A team of physicists has created a cloud of ultracold atoms that stubbornly resists the most basic rule of everyday ...

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that NASA Earth Science Communications has directed The Earth Observer to conduct an ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily life, doing work on something over and over usually makes it warmer. You ...

A harmless toy is pushed far beyond its original purpose in this creative build experiment. See how design, heat, and ...

When Earth was a molten inferno, water may have been locked safely underground rather than lost to space. Researchers ...

NEW DELHI – In an effort to combat rising temperatures in Gujarat, hundreds of homes in Ahmedabad have received a new “cool roof” treatment, where their rooftops are painted with a white reflective ...

Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...

While the Earth has gone through some dramatic climate changes in its 4.6-billion-year history, natural processes like silicate weathering can help return things to a comfortable equilibrium. A new ...

Let me be transparent–I’m not going to pretend these kitchen experiments won’t create a mess. They will. There will be vinegar on your floor, food coloring on hands that lasts a day or two, and ...
