Addressing a controversy first raised around 1910, two physicists have performed experiments with the aid of an engineer that validate anew the special theory of relativity’s limitations on the speed ...

Finding a needle in a haystack is the quintessentially impossible task. But what if new tools could make it straightforwardly achievable? Imagine if, instead of searching through everything by hand, ...

Science laboratories across disciplines--chemistry, biochemistry and materials science--are on the verge of a sweeping transformation as robotic automation and AI lead to faster and more precise ...

Light is the fastest-moving thing in the universe. So what would happen if the speed of light were much, much slower? In a vacuum, the speed of light is about 186,000 miles per second (300,000 ...

When the massive upgrade at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory is completed later this year, experiments at the powerful X-ray light ...

Microchip technology can now enable chemists to perform more than 1,000 experiments at once, according to researchers from the University of California at Los Angeles. A team of scientists from the ...
