Nuclear fusion reactor in South Korea runs at 100 million degrees C for a record-breaking 48 seconds
The experimental fusion reactor sustained temperatures of 180 million degrees Fahrenheit for a record-breaking 48 seconds.
Scientists made the coldest large molecule on record — and it has a super strange chemical bond
A four-atom molecule has broken the record for coldest large molecule.
How do lasers work?
First predicted by Einstein more than a century ago, lasers have shaped our modern technological landscape. But how do they work?
Bose-Einstein condensate: The fifth state of matter
A Bose-Einstein condensate is a strange form of matter in which extremely cold atoms demonstrate collective behavior and act like a single "super atom."
Physicists make record-breaking 'quantum vortex' to study the mysteries of black holes
Physicists created a 'quantum vortex,' which flows with 500 times less viscosity than water and could be used to study the space-time warping caused by black holes.
Rare 'super-diamonds' may already exist on other planets, and could be made on Earth, study hints
A simulated form of carbon called BC8, or 'super-diamond', could be 30% tougher than normal diamonds, but synthesizing it on Earth won't be easy.
'Emergent gravity' could force us to rewrite the laws of physics
The idea of emergent gravity is still new and requires a lot of assumptions in its calculations to make it work. But if experimental evidence ever proves it real, we would need to totally rewrite the laws of physics.
Pi calculated to 105 trillion digits, smashing world record
A U.S. computer storage company has calculated the irrational number pi to 105 trillion digits, breaking the previous world record. The calculations took 75 days to complete and used up 1 million gigabytes of data.
