The path of a gravitational wave passing near a galaxy can be bent, producing multiple signals that could help next-generation detectors measure the expansion of the Universe.

A search for oscillations in the frequencies of optical clocks has come up empty, implying new bounds on ultralight dark matter particles.

A detailed blueprint for a molecular-spin-based quantum processor brings this technology closer to reality.

Future space-based gravitational-wave detectors could probe the physics of accretion disks surrounding massive black holes.

Climate change is altering late-season maple syrup, but a portable plasmonic sensor could help avoid waste by detecting molecules in a tree’s sap that lead to an off-tasting batch.

The chaotic motion in a fluid of microscopic, actively moving rods can be harnessed to drive the rotation of a small propeller-like object.

A new system could allow autonomous aircraft to correct the pitch of their wings to account for gusts of wind that abruptly change lift in real time.

Researchers have developed an optimization algorithm to help identify the location of an electric current surge in a power grid, without knowledge of the grid’s broad structure.

Experiments show that the sticky behavior of so-called associative polymers is controlled by the density of bonding structures, contradicting theoretical predictions.

A system built around a metal that gains and loses heat when compressed could lead the way to the commercialization of chemical-free refrigeration technology.
