Lightning bolts, nuclear explosions, colliding stars and black holes all throw off this high-energy type of light.
This word describes sound waves that have frequencies too high for human ears to hear.
Researchers crafted tubes that can trick AI into mistaking one person’s voice for another’s. Bad guys could use such tricks to hack into accounts.
Lightning, stars, supermassive black holes and more give off radio waves.
The inner workings of microscopes, telescopes, eyeglasses and other lens-based devices rely on two important laws of optics.
Keeping buildings cool can use a lot of energy. Thanks to quantum computing, engineers designed a coating to cut the warming light that enters windows.
Seismology is the branch of science focused on seismic waves — vibrations that run through or around Earth.
Energy, mass and the cosmos' structure evolved a lot over the past 13.82 billion years — much of it within just the first second.
Tracking these subatomic particles can uncover surprising hidden structures.
