A rare configuration of seven galaxies aligned behind a galaxy cluster allows researchers to probe with high precision the dark matter distribution within the cluster.

Social wasps can hold their liquor An alcohol-only diet would throw most species for a loop, but new research suggests that hornets can

A new model of liquid sprays reveals the mechanisms behind droplet formation—providing important information for eventually controlling the droplet sizes in, for example, home cleaning sprays.

A “Little Earth Experiment” inside a giant magnet sheds light on so-far-unexplained flow patterns in Earth’s interior.

For the first time, researchers have observed how bromoform rearranges its atoms in less than a trillionth of a second after it gets hit by an ultraviolet (UV) pulse. The imaging technique captured a long-predicted pathway by which the ozone-layer-damaging molecule transforms its structure upon interaction with light.

Researchers built a sophisticated device to mimic natural soundscapes

Cell–cell alignment and a background of stationary cells together shape the emergence of cellular clusters in a primary tumor.

Through its interactions with a crystal, light becomes an opaque object—an effect that could be harnessed in applications.

Studies of influenza A’s unusual propulsion strategy suggest that drugs could target a critical protein.
