Einstein introduced general relativity in the early 20th century, and since
then it has been proven to be an accurate description of gravity beyond the
regime of validity of Newtonian gravitation. Since then, people have been
asking...

Researchers may be able to "freeze" water into a solid, not by cooling but by confining it to narrow spaces less than one-millionth of a millimeter wide, according to new results from an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers.
It's...

Astronomers have made the best determination of the power of
a supernova explosion long after it was visible from Earth. This technique,
using X-ray and optical observations, may help reveal the details of how some
stars...

Beyond its role as the elixir of all life, water is a very unusual substance:
Scientists have long marveled over counter-intuitive properties that set water
apart from other solids and liquids commonly found in nature.
The simple fact...

A dwarf star with a surprisingly magnetic personality and a huge hot spot
covering half its surface area is showing astronomers that life as a cool dwarf
is not necessarily as simple and quiet as they once assumed.
