The greatest, the least, and others in between.

I would admittedly consider myself a lazy astronomer and astrophotographer. I don’t want to get in my car to drive somewhere with dark skies every time, and I don’t like fussing with finicky setup processes. Plus, being in Florida, I…
Brine pools are one of the most extreme environments on Earth, yet despite their high salinity, exotic chemistry, and complete lack of oxygen, these pools are teeming with life and offer a unique record of Earth’s rainfall patterns. Credit: OceanXplorer…
The basic units of quantum information are quantum bits (qubits) or quantum modes (qumodes). They can be physically represented in discrete-variable or continuous-variable quantum systems, for example, optical, atomic, superconducting and mechanical systems. A key objective is to entangle a…
A research team led by Professors Young-Ki Kim and Yong-Young Noh at POSTECH has developed a groundbreaking method for synthesizing perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs), a next-generation semiconductor material, in a more uniform and efficient manner. This study is expected to serve…
A polar bear playfully fetches a stick in the waters of Svalbard, Norway. It’s a moment of levity for an animal better known for their imposing dispositions. Photographer Tom Nickels watched the scene from a safe distance on a boat…

The number of retracted papers has been rising over the past few years.Credit: Priscila Zambotto/Getty Many universities and research institutions around the world prize high productivity. They encourage researchers to publish more articles and accrue more citations; higher counts can…
Optical atomic clocks can increase the precision of time and geographic position a thousandfold in our mobile phones, computers, and GPS systems. However, they are currently too large and complex to be widely used in society. Now, a research team…
Most Lamborghini owners will never drive their supercar on the ice, but they could. The Astrophysics Data System–a digital library portal for researchers in astronomy and physics–built a complex formula for aircraft landings on ice. There are variables for river…
