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 ...

In this month’s Weather Experiment Wednesday, Discovery Lab Senior Education Manager Micah Firestone showed us how to harness UV light to create images on special paper. This cyanotide activity ...

LIVERMORE, Calif. — Scientists have successfully observed the transformation of neutrinos – a particle that is relatively massless, has no electric charge, yet is fundamental to the structure of the ...

Over the past decades, many research teams worldwide have been trying to detect dark matter, an elusive type of matter that ...

An unprecedented experiment seven years in the making has shaken the field of neuroscience. Researchers set out to answer one of science’s most puzzling questions: Where does consciousness come from?

Quantum mechanics just can’t keep from getting freaky. The latest thing is negative time, and how light going through a cloud of atoms might appear to come out before it goes in. Unfortunately, it is ...

A new study has used a series of innovative field experiments to show how plants combine circadian clock signals with environmental cues under naturally fluctuating conditions. Much of what we know ...

Much of what we know about plant circadian rhythms is the result of laboratory experiments where inputs such as light and temperature can be tightly controlled. Less is known about how these ...
