Physics has long looked to harmony to explain the beauty of the Universe. But what if dissonance yields better insights?

Physicists calculated that these mysterious particles will betray their location with heat. To prove it, they’ll need the most powerful telescopes in the cosmos.

Wendy Chung, director of clinical research at SFARI, describes how better genetic insights can help support people across the spectrum.

Scientists completing an advanced millimeter telescope scheduled to be installed at the Simons Observatory in Chile next year have turned to metamaterials, a broad class of manufactured materials composed of structures that are finer than the wavelength of visible light, radio waves and other types of electromagnetic radiation.

Biologists are uncovering how tiny timekeepers in our cells might govern body size, lifespan and aging.

New radio-based observatories could soon detect ultrahigh-energy neutrinos, opening a new window on extreme cosmic physics.

Anomalies to fundamental theory have physicists trying to concoct new explanations.

Amy Gravino, one of SPARK's first participants, writes about her reaction to finding out that a rare genetic condition caused her autism.

The KATRIN experiment finds the ethereal particle has a mass less than 0.8 electron volts.

NASA's Ingenuity helicopter has made the first-ever powered flight on another planet, 117 years after the Wright Brothers' historic flight on this planet.
