"For the last 20 years, people believed that the cosmological constant is positive, and the universe will expand forever," Tye says. "The new data seem to indicate that the cosmological constant is ...

Nobels are awarded in only three scientific categories, but other awards honor researchers across different fields.

For decades, it's been known that subtle chemical patterns exist in metal alloys, but researchers thought they were too minor to matter—or that they got erased during manufacturing. However, recent ...

Quantum entanglement occurs when two subatomic particles become linked in such a way that their properties remain connected, no matter how far apart they are. A change to one particle seems to ...
