A meteorite that fell in Germany in 1724 contains a form of silica that conducts heat in a stable manner and baffles physicists.

Meteorologist Jonathan Belles: Yes, absolutely. Math really does predict the weather. We have a number of equations and I think all of us meteorologists have horror stories about the different math ...

Justin Heckman, a physics teacher and robotics coach at Abraham Lincoln High School in Council Bluffs, was named the Southwest Iowa regional recipient of the 2026 Iowa STEM Teacher Award.

Could a black hole pass through our solar system at high speed? This possibility, once confined to science fiction, is becoming increasingly tangible thanks to recent observations. This theory ...

Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of ...

The team’s theoretical calculations were largely supported by the results, and showed it’s all about the viscosity. Water reached the 90 percent mark in only a few seconds. Meanwhile, cold maple syrup ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are governed by the same laws of physics and give rise to a complex phenomenon known ...

Physicists long believed time was a basic feature of the universe. But it may just emerge from cosmic information.
