The normal one and its mirror image. The left-handed version and the right-handed version. Despite containing the same atoms, these two molecules usually have vastly different properties. For example, ...

Can two versions of reality exist at the same time? Physicists say they can — at the quantum level, that is.

Mercer University physics and astronomy professor Matthew Marone says the sighting is not uncommon, and it's likely connected to the annual Bootid meteor shower.

The discovery led to the realization that the universe is expanding, and that it must have had a beginning: the Big Bang. “Hubble is known as a titan in astronomy, especially American astronomy,” says ...

To make a truly realistic fake picture of a galaxy, you can model exactly how light particles travel through the atmosphere and telescope to reach its sensor.

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will make the study of stars and galaxies more like the big data-sorting exercises of contemporary genetics and particle physics.

Some black holes even seem to release a second flood of radio waves—one relatively promptly and another hundreds of days after the first one has faded.

Earlier this year, new research suggested a potential solution to one of the most troubling aspects of modern physics — that "singularities" seem to exist at the hearts of black holes.

An accidental discovery in an astronomy show offers researchers a new clue about the mysterious Oort Cloud, a large expanse of icy bodies revolving around the sun.

AI sees through chaos—and reaches the edge of what physics allows How precise can a measurement result be when all you have is a blurred image of an object? At TU Wien, the limits of what is ...
