By shining a laser beam through a soapy liquid, scientists produced a long jet of liquid that broke up into droplets after traversing a surprisingly long distance.
New data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft shows how the small moon, Enceladus, is weighing down Saturn's magnetic field so much that the field is rotating slower than the planet.
Scientists have mapped E8 math group -- a feat numerically akin to the mapping of the human genome -- allowing for breakthroughs in geometry, number theory and the physics of string theory.
An odd, six-sided, honeycomb-shaped feature circling the entire north pole of Saturn has captured the interest of scientists with NASA's Cassini mission.
For the first time, scientists using the BaBar experiment at SLAC have observed the transition of one type of particle, the neutral D-meson, into its antimatter particle - a process known as 'mixing'.
New measurements of Mars' south polar region indicate extensive frozen water. The polar region contains enough frozen water to cover the whole planet in a liquid layer approximately 11 meters (36 feet) deep.
In a series of landmark observations, NASA's Swift satellite has challenged some of astronomers' fundamental ideas about gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which are among the most extreme events in our universe.
A decade-long mystery has been solved. The brightest member of the so-called 'magnificent seven' has been found to pulsate with a period of seven seconds.
Researchers have created an anti-reflective coating that allows light to travel through it, but lets almost none bounce off its surface.
'Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannnot communicate and teach it.'
