Would a fallout shelter really protect you in a nuclear blast?
Nuclear bunkers aren't a foolproof way to stay safe during a nuclear attack. Here's why.
How do Hula-Hoops work?
How do Hula-Hoops keep from falling down as we twirl them around?
'Heavy' dark matter would rip our understanding of the universe apart, new research suggests
Because we haven't found anything yet, we've started to wonder if dark matter might be lighter or heavier than we thought.
Scientists discover new, 3rd form of magnetism that may be the 'missing link' in the quest for superconductivity
Scientists have found an elusive third form of magnetism that could help solve a longstanding puzzle about superconductors.
'A frankly embarrassing result': We still know hardly anything about 95% of the universe
"As yet, nobody has managed to understand what gives rise to this strange phenomenon, and explaining dark energy remains one of the most formidable challenges of modern science."
Cosmic voids may explain the universe's acceleration without dark energy
New research suggests that dark energy isn't needed to explain the acceleration in the expansion of the universe — instead suggesting giant voids in space are creating an illusion.
'Spooky' quantum entanglement discovered inside individual protons for 1st time ever
Physicists have long-suspected that the building blocks of protons experienced quantum entanglement. Now, researchers have the first direct evidence — after using a trick to infer subatomic particles' entropy.
Something invisible and 'fuzzy' may lurk at the Milky Way's center, new research suggests
The cores of galaxies may not be made of what we thought, new research suggests — they could hold one giant, invisible star made of mysterious "fuzzy" matter.
'The Majoron' — a bizarre particle that's its own opposite — could explain the biggest mysteries of the universe, scientists claim
There's a significant imbalance between matter and antimatter in our universe, but a strange particle called "the Majoron" could finally explain it, an audacious new study suggests.
