An unanticipated violation of matter-antimatter symmetry could reconcile conflicting experimental evidence about the possible existence of sterile neutrinos.

Could any material on Earth have remained isolated and undisturbed for 4.5 billion years? And if it did, how could we tell?

Microscopes with single-site resolution are vital for using ultracold atoms to simulate strongly correlated electrons in solids.

Universities welcome efforts to scale back federal controls over campus research by foreign nationals.

Balance, flexibility, and broad science mark the latest decadal survey. And, nitpicking aside, the survey is finding wide endorsement among astronomers and astrophysicists.

NASA hires industry to transport scientific payloads bound for microgravity environments.

By controlling the local electric and magnetic properties of a material, researchers can tailor the flow of light and create exotic optical devices.

Working in concert, theorists and experimentalists have found promising new ways to get two traditional foes—ferroelectricity and magnetism—to coexist

Once resources for the scholar and serious student, science museums are now dedicated to public education. But just how institutions define and meet their educational goals is a continuing story.

Light that reflects off mirrors that have carefully calculated and machined shapes can produce images with surprising and useful properties.
