The huge mysteries we still can’t explain
Scientists still struggle to understand consciousness, aging, memory formation and why humans hiccup or yawn, revealing a ...
He disproved one of Einstein’s toughest theories, was regarded as a genius and died in the year he was nominated for the ...
From frozen bonfires to quantum physics, why light still matters to our hopes, our science and our long Alaska winters.
In the early 20th century, the development of quantum mechanics fundamentally changed our understanding of atomic and subatomic processes. This revolutionary theory, which emerged from the work of ...
A beam of light was sent through a maze of mirrors and detectors. Then scientists changed the setup after the photon had already passed through. Somehow the photon adjusted its behavior as if it had ...
Satyen K. Bordoloi as he profiles the companies and nations trying to figure out whether Schrodinger’s cat is alive, or not.
Learning how a physical system behaves usually means repeating measurements and using statistics to uncover patterns. That ...
From a fresh water production breakthrough to a promising Parkinson’s treatment, here are some highlights from SCMP’s recent ...
