Seventy-five years after Hans Geiger’s death, we explore how his most famous invention detects radiation.
Testers who wore these devices that track sweatiness found the data useful for monitoring emotions and managing stress.
Particle physicists have overcome one of the biggest obstacles to a collider that would smash particles for less.
Instead of packing more pixels into displays, engineers are learning how to trick our eyes and brains to see higher resolutions in the virtual world.
Researchers combine old whaling records with aerial photographs to estimate the large animals’ weights.
Explore the applications of state-of-the-art clocks -- and the math that describes their performance and limitations.
New tools are creating a trend in archaeology research: excavation without digging.
Super high-pressure experiments take science to extremes.
New imaging technique could help study the structure of viruses and proteins and the deformation of materials during high speed collisions.
A new way to measure vibrations may eventually help detect gravitational waves and store quantum memory.
Scientists have developed a way to encourage a single electron to hop atop a silicon atom, a feat that may find applications in future nanoscale electronics.
