1st images from the Euclid 'dark universe' telescope are here — and they're jaw-dropping
The first images from ESA's dark universe detective Euclid are out, featuring spectacular views of nebulas, distant galaxies and globular clusters of thousands of stars.
Daylight saving time 2023: When does the time change?
Here's a look at when the time changes for daylight saving time and who instituted daylight savings in the first place.
World's smallest particle accelerator is 54 million times smaller than the Large Hadron Collider, and it works
Scientists have created the world's first nanophotonic electron accelerator, which speeds negatively charged particles with mini laser pulses and is small enough to fit on a coin.
World's largest gravitational wave observatory squeezes light beyond the 'quantum limit'
Researchers at the LIGO gravitational wave observatory used a new technique called frequency-dependent squeezing to boost weak signals above quantum noise.
Distorted crystals use 'pseudogravity' to bend light like black holes do
Researchers have used a special crystal to bend the trajectory of light like a black hole would, a phenomenon known as 'pseudogravity.'
China is building the world's largest underwater telescope to hunt for elusive 'ghost particles'
China's forthcoming Tropical Deep-sea Neutrino Telescope (TRIDENT) will search for the origins of cosmic rays in momentary flashes of light beneath the ocean's surface.
Elusive Planet Nine could be an alternative form of gravity masquerading as a planet, study claims
Astronomers suggest that an alternative concept of gravity, known as modified Newtonian dynamics, could explain orbital inconsistencies that have previously pointed to the existence of a ninth planet in the solar system.
ESA scientists finally resolve glitch that caused Euclid spacecraft to 'doodle' through space
The European Space Agency's dark energy and dark matter spacecraft has once again found its guiding stars and is preparing for full "science mode."
