The two-piece garment was named after the atoll where the first atomic bombs exploded. Twenty years later, the explosive garment was appearing on magazine covers, fashion runways, movies, …
Einstein called it “spooky action at a distance,” but today, quantum entanglement is poised to revolutionize technology from computers to cryptography. Physicists have gradually become convinced that the phenomenon—two subatomic particles that mirror changes in each other instantaneously over any distance—is real. But a few …

Cristóbal Vila Connecting geometry, nature, and architecture This is a new personal project that seeks to establish connections between various fields that interest me deeply: geometry, and how it appears linked to nature, on the one hand, and to art and architecture, on the other; …
Scientists have waited for a generation to see the stunning images that the James Webb Telescope is now delivering. In a live online Q+A, Brian Greene will speak with Nobel Prize-winner John Mather and other key project scientists about the telescope’s first full-color images, looking …
The Standard Model of particle physics is the most successful scientific theory of all time. It describes how everything in the universe is made of 12 different types of matter particles, interacting with three forces, all bound together by a rather special particle called the …
