You might think the trippy animated visualizations in your media player are the best way to see your music. But astronaut Don Pettit has found a better way—and all it requires is a small set of speakers, a blob of water, and a space station 250 miles above the Earth. Read More >

Infinity is a pretty difficult concept for us to grasp. The world we live in is full of limitations, so the idea that something can go on and on, forever and ever, doesn't come naturally to us. And to make things even more confusing, some infinities can actually be bigger than others. Read More >

Though quantum teleportation has existed for well over 10 years, it has never actually happened at a distance that would be of any use to people in the real world. But for the first time, Chinese researchers were able to teleport a quantum object nearly 100 kilometers, ramping up the real world applications for the idea. Read More >

If you're gonna cheat, cheat smart. Like an Oxford maths professor, who has revealed how he used the world's first wearable computer to beat the roulette tables of Las Vegas back in the 1970s. Read More >

This short video, made at the UK's National Physical Laboratory, proudly explains the science behind the world's first accurate atomic clock. It was designed by Louis Essen and built at the National Physical Laboratory in 1955, and the video is worth watching for the voice-over alone. Read More >

Today, you might read that scientists have developed a way to produce faster-than-light travel. But steady, there: we've been burnt once recently, so let's not let it happen again. Did scientists really manage to break the speed of light? Read More >

A while back, Sixty Symbols asked a bunch of physicists what they thought would happen if you were to place your hand in the particle beam at the LHC and... none of them knew. Now they've done some digging, and found out. Read More >

Until now, electrons have been regarded as elementary particles—which means that scientists thought they had no component parts or substructure. But for the first time, electrons have been observed decaying into two separate parts—causing physicists to rethink what they know about the particles. Read More >

Today is the anniversary of Albert Einstein's death in 1955. His passing was a huge loss, not just to physics but the entire academy—and, in the hours following his demise, photographer Ralph Morse managed to capture Einstein's Princeton office, just as he'd left it. Read More >

It's time to spend another lethargic Monday afternoon wrapping your head around Minute Physics' latest crash course in science. This time around they explain why trying to name or number the multiple dimensions in our universe is a pointless endeavour. Read More >

Like quantum physics? What about quantum computers? Or quantum computers in a diamond? Then you should know that researchers at the Max Planck Institute have appropriately devised a way to create a quantum network in which a photon is exchanged between two atoms. Future! Read More >

What kind of YouTube witchery is this? Four hundred years ago, we'd all be burned for watching this video—the man's made a stream of water stand completely still in the air. How'd he do it? Read More >

Distances are typically documented using specific measurement terms like inches, feet, and even miles. But when someone asks you how far it is to the shopping centre, you'll usually respond with a measurement of time instead of an exact number of miles. Read More >

Most of us don't know much about Einstein. Minutephysics has spent the past month trying to beat a little context into our pea-sized dummy brains beyond, like, E=mc². But it's about time we got to learning the big one. Read More >

True, the pink is a lie. But a UC Santa Barbara research team has honestly just generated eleven new hues using lasers and ion cascades. Read More >
