Physicists Achieve Best Ever Measurement of Fine-Structure Constant
Three times more precise than the previous record-holding determination, the result closely agrees with theoretical predictions but could still reveal pathways to new physics

A bioinspired arrangement could save energy by allowing one plane to provide extra lift to another—if both aircraft can remain stable
Launching in 2022, the wide-field observatory will be one of three next-generation facilities meant to lift the veil on dark energy, dark matter and other cosmic mysteries
By exploiting the wave-and-particle-like nature of light, a new technique offers the best of both worlds
Submarine neutrino detectors will hunt for dark matter, distant star explosions, and more
The device will use artificial neurons and synapses to improve self-driving vehicle and drone performance
Threatened glaciers store many of Earth’s fading prehistoric memories, including valuable temperature information...
Power for the people takes on a whole new meaning, as the largest installation of Pavegen energy-harvesting tiles to date produces 4.7 kilowatt-hours of energy during the Paris marathon, enough to power a laptop for more than two days...
