This experiment demonstrates how water affects sound waves and pitch. You'll discover how different water levels create different musical notes and learn about the relationship between mass, vibration ...

A black hole may be millions of light-years away, but some of its strangest physics has now been recreated in a Manhattan ...

There's something different about the waves at Torrey Pines State Beach in California: they're pink, temporarily, of course. The coloring comes from a pink dye that's part of an experiment to research ...

We are all bobbing in a sea of ripples in space-time, called gravitational waves, reverberating through the fabric of the universe, scientists announced on Wednesday. Those ripples are probably the ...

The world's most sensitive table-top interferometric system—a miniature version of miles-long gravitational-wave detectors like LIGO—has completed its first science run. The Quantum Enhanced ...

Scientists have hypothesized for over six decades the possibility of observing a form of wave reflections known as temporal, or time, reflections. Researchers detail a breakthrough experiment in which ...

In late October and early November, many of Southern California’s beaches had bright blue waves. The glow was caused by large amounts of phytoplankton, a type of small photosynthetic organism at the ...

Until recently, gravitational waves could have been a figment of Einstein’s imagination. Before they were detected, these ripples in spacetime existed only in the physicist’s general theory of ...

Hosts of NPR's science podcast Short Wave talk about newly-discovered gravitational waves, a robot designed with inspiration from nature and why Orcas might be attacking boats near the European coast.
