I put out a call on social media and through various PR contacts for QA professionals to share their most ridiculous game ...

Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both mass and energy can move freely without friction or energy loss. In everyday ...

"It's like looking back in time in a sense, to that violent period of our solar system when it was less than a billion years old." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Young star systems are a place of violent collisions between rocks, comets, asteroids and larger objects as the dust and ice of a stellar nebula coalesce into planets and moons. But the largest ...

The space around Earth has become increasingly cluttered with decades of accumulated debris left over from rocket launches, derelict satellites and the occasional antisatellite weapon test—not to ...

When the solar system began to form, everything was chaos. A slew of rocky material was smashing together in a maelstrom that would eventually become the baby protoplanets, comets and asteroids that ...
