The decoupling of electronic and nuclear spin states allows scattering fermionic atoms to rapidly cool.

Why, as the oceans warm, are seafloor animals moving to even hotter waters?

By taking advantage of the electron spin in nitrogen–vacancy centers and carefully tracking the centers, researchers detected temperature variations as small as 0.22 °C.

Ridicule has given way to high hopes.

Evaluating the success of an upstart agency that swings for the fences on clean-energy technologies isn’t straightforward.

A few simple metrics characterize outbreaks like COVID-19, but calculating them correctly is surprisingly tricky.

The controversial best seller heralded the end of an era in science popularizations.

Although a magnetic field gradually destroys the superconducting state in most materials, a small family of uranium compounds bucks the trend.

Deformable circuits whose resistance changes when stretched could set the stage for bio-inspired robots and soft tactile logic devices.
