Universal law derived by French physicist predicts fragment sizes using entropy & probability.A dropped plate, broken spaghetti and a smashed drinking glass all seem to follow the same law of physics ...

Thirty years ago today, Netscape Communications and Sun Microsystems issued a joint press release announcing JavaScript, an object scripting language designed for creating interactive web applications ...

A new mathematical equation describes the distribution of different fragment sizes when an object breaks. Remarkably, the distribution is the same for everything from bubbles to spaghetti. When you ...

A new study analyzing historical photographs taken by the Palomar Observatory between 1949 and 1957 has detected several mysterious bright spots in the sky. These transient objects, captured on film ...

New images reveal the Manhattan-sized interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has started to sport a tail, indicating that it could possibly be a “maneuvering” alien craft, one Harvard scientist suggested. After ...

The vast majority of matter is dark – invisible until it is detected only through its gravitational effects. The newly discovered object could be a clump of dark matter, or it could also be a compact, ...

For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical illusion called the Terrell-Penrose effect. When you purchase through links on ...

A new analysis of our solar system’s interstellar interloper, 3I/ATLAS, reveals that it’s spewing huge amounts of water — and astronomers can’t immediately explain why. The object, which is widely ...

"'Oumuamua is in a different category of object. It's much harder to find, but there are a lot more of them." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

Meet “impossibagel,” a physically impossible bagel that mathematicians use to resolve intricate geometry problems. But impossibagel—and other “impossible objects” in mathematics—is notoriously ...
