Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

Astronomers had decent guesses about how these peanut-shaped asteroids formed but couldn’t get the physics to work—until now.

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University in Japan have discovered a previously undiscovered behavior in cleaner wrasse ...

A study reveals random exploration outperforms focused analysis—shedding scientific light on non-ordinary ways of knowing.

Astronomers have puzzled for years over a strange pattern in the outer solar system. A surprising number of icy bodies far beyond Neptune resemble snowmen, made of two rounded lobes stuck together.

Soot, road salt and other pollutants don’t just dirty snow — they can alter sunlight and affect plant growth beneath it, researchers say.

The workings of electricity are often introduced to students by way of a comparison to water, with voltage analogous to ...

Scientists are sharpening their warnings that the cloud hanging over someone’s vape is not harmless mist but a chemically active aerosol that can injure bystanders’ lungs. New laboratory work suggests ...

When you push or pull with a simple machine, you are applying a force and doing work. And, if you get more force out of a machine than you put into it, then that machine has a mechanical advantage.

Earthquakes happen daily, sometimes with devastating consequences, yet predicting them remains out of reach. What scientists can do is map the hidden layers beneath the surface that control how ...

Q: Thank you for addressing my problem of rabbits eating my dwarf Burford hollies. I had actually considered using chicken wire to discourage them. But you did not answer my question about whether the ...

Feeling in control may be the key to conquering daily stress. Penn State researchers found that people were 62% more likely to resolve everyday hassles on days when they felt greater control. This ...
