A groundbreaking study reveals how neurons sense and transmit mechanical forces across their membranes—a key to understanding touch, movement, and development.

A team led by UNIGE has shown that the most mysterious component of our Universe follows the laws of classical physics, though some doubts still remain. Does dark matter obey the same physical laws as ...

There may be a fifth fundamental force of the universe that we haven’t documented yet — and, according to new research, our best bet of uncovering it may not lie in deep space, but in objects ...

Does dark matter follow the same laws as ordinary matter? The mystery of this invisible and hypothetical component of our ...

For decades, you have heard scientists say that most of the universe is missing. They are not being dramatic. They mean it in ...

Particle physics describes the universe at the smallest scale. This includes subatomic particles, like protons and neutrons, as well as elementary particles, like quarks and electrons, which make up ...

All the tech we rely on, from cars to smartphones, was engineered using physics. You don’t need to know the science to use these things. But a well-rounded human should understand at least some of the ...

STOCKHOLM — John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for research into quantum mechanical tunneling. Clarke conducted his research at the ...

This looks like something out of a video game, but it's for real. Some parkour masters can scale a building by jumping back and forth between two facing vertical surfaces, zigzagging upward. Seriously ...

There are few sports more exciting than playoff baseball, but behind every pitch there is also a fascinating story of physics ...
