Physicists have designed a new black hole simulator called BlackMax to search for evidence that extra dimensions might exist in the universe.

Scientists have found a new way to peer into a molecule that allows them to see how its electrons rearrange as the molecule changes shape.

A new research field called transformation optics may usher in a host of radical advances including a cloak of invisibility and ultra-powerful microscopes and computers by harnessing nanotechnology and "metamaterials."

Rather than building stronger ocean-based structures to withstand tsunamis, it might be easier to simply make the structures disappear.

A team of physicists has created the “quantum stabilized atom mirror,” the smoothest surface ever, according to a recent article in Advanced Materials.

An international collaboration of scientists today sent the first beam of protons zooming at nearly the speed of light around the world’s most powerful particle accelerator

How did the universe come to be? What is it made of? What is mass? Can science prove that there are other dimensions?

physicists successfully controlled an electrical current using the "spin" within electrons – a step toward building an organic "spin transistor": a plastic semiconductor switch for future ultrafast computers and electronics.

Cardiff University experts have led an international team in unravelling the secrets of a 2,000-year-old computer which could transform the way we think about the ancient world.

A new technique allows pictures which were later painted over to be revealed once more.
