New research suggests that black holes may actually be "frozen stars," bizarre quantum objects that lack a singularity and an ...

Students will learn how to categorize matter as either pure substances or mixtures. Students will apply tests, based on physical properties of matter samples, to determine whether a mixture is ...

It turns out that any material, no matter what it is made of, can exist in one of three forms: solid, liquid or gas. These are categories of stuff that have certain observable properties.

Dark matter could also explain certain optical ... Many scientists have also pointed out that the known properties of dark energy are consistent with a cosmological constant, a mathematical ...

We have not yet found the elusive particles we believe dark matter consists of, but we have set the tightest limits yet on their properties. We have also shown our detector is working as expected ...

Watching for changes in Mars' orbit over time could be new way to detect passing dark matter, according to researchers.

Although it would be hard to explain the properties of a tornado in terms of the physics of electrons and quarks, I see this as a matter of calculational impasse, not an indicator of the need for ...

MIT physicists and colleagues have created a new material with unusual superconducting and metallic properties, thanks to ...

An excerpt from “The Road to Wisdom,” by Francis S. Collins, on discovering the hand of God in the science of his creation.

Scientists investigated a new two-dimensional form of matter known as Bose glass, which could help physicists study a concept ...

Commercial real estate has beaten the stock market for 25 years — but only the super rich could buy in. Here's how even ...

New simulations suggest that there are enough primordial black holes—potential dark matter candidates—in the universe for one ...
