An odd new experiment may offer a path towards a connection between classical and quantum physics. It's a goal scientists have chased for decades.

What if there was another nuclear incident in the US? A disaster management scholar looks back at the history of nuclear events to assess the risk.

Physicists can use bright, hot lasers to slow atoms down so much that they measure -459 degrees Fahrenheit.

Researchers have made some of the most accurate clocks imaginable in recent years, but the trick is harnessing those clocks to electronics. Using lasers to tune microwaves bridges the gap.

Applied computational biology discoveries vastly expand the range of CRISPR’s access to DNA sequences.

The laws and principles of chemistry seem pretty set in stone. But as a chemist explains, the field is always evolving, including such fundamental principles as what is a chemical bond.

The movies make it seem like someday we'll be able to make people and objects grow really big or shrink really small. Whether this will be possible comes down to the smallest of things.

Technique may enable molecule-based quantum computing.

New research indicates protons aren't as big as scientists thought. They're 4% smaller than the best previous measurement, and that has major implications.

Systems of tiny robots may someday build high-performance structures, from airplanes to space settlements.
