Researchers at the University of Toronto say they are closer than ever before to resolving the curious behavior of “strange metals,” a metallic phase of matter that is not described well in current theory.
A potentially "illuminating" new theory says that the universe's first light may have been ripped from the fabric of space/time by the extreme forces of gravity in the form of gravitational waves that existed right after the big bang.
Potentially invoking horrifying images of George Orwell's "thought police" or Phillip K. DIck's "pre-crime" police force, a team of Japanese researchers say they have taught a specialized AI to scan people's brains and almost perfectly recreate whatever image they are thinking about.
A stunningly detailed cosmological map that covers about of quarter of the entire sky shows the effects of dark matter on the cosmic microwave background radiation, lending strong support for Albert Einstein's theory of gravity.
Physicists say they have reconciled the third law of thermodynamics with quantum physics, in new research that proves absolute zero is theoretically possible.

The United Nations is calling on governments around the world to take urgent action in the face of climate change, according to a new report that says current efforts to combat the crisis are insufficient.
A new study reveals the source of a curious feature of the Sun’s atmosphere that produces a signal pattern that researchers have likened to a human heartbeat.
The “Dark Ages of the Universe” will be the focus of a new experiment conducted jointly by NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), involving the placement of a new science observatory on the far side of the Moon.
Australian researchers have measured the effects of massive galactic-scale shockwaves rippling through the cosmic web, a structure that encompasses all of the matter in the known universe.
