In its quest to feed, avoid nasty substances and just generally live its life, the brainless, one-celled Physarum ...

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

The understaffed International Space Station will soon have four new crew members to bring the team size back up to seven, ...

Researchers have shown theoretically that, in highly ordered materials, heat can flow toward warmer regions without violating the laws of thermodynamics. Their work could help design electronics that ...

Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have performed the largest direct numerical ...

A SpaceX rocket launched on Friday headed to the International Space Station for an eight-month science mission, NASA ...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ultra-thin graphene, researchers observed a superfluid—normally defined by its ...

Recent research reveals we dip into a sleeplike state as our brains flush out waste buildup.

Meanwhile, the next generation of explorers will benefit from $5 million in grants to be provided through NASA’s Next Generation STEM project, part of NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement, which creates ...

Researchers discovered that a lattice-like skeleton beneath neuron membranes regulates endocytosis, controlling nutrient and protein uptake.

Four astronauts will blast off Friday from Florida on a flight to the International Space Station. Here's how to watch: ...
