A thought experiment that was at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally been made real. Its findings elucidate one of the core mysteries ...

Bumblebees can process the duration of flashes of light and use the information to decide where to look for food, a new study has found. This is the first evidence of such an ability in insects, ...

New research uses laboratory experiments to demonstrate that water is naturally created during the planet formation process. By squeezing and heating planetary analog materials between the tips of two ...

In 2013, the Philadelphia 76ers were stuck in mediocrity. They weren’t bad enough to draft elite prospects, but not good enough to contend. Enter Sam Hinkie, who devised a bold plan: lose now, win ...

In recent years, some large physics experiments worldwide have been trying to gather evidence of a nuclear process known as neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay. This is a rare process that entails ...

Scientists have long known that light can sometimes appear to exit a material before entering it—an effect dismissed as an illusion caused by how waves are distorted by matter. Now, researchers at the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Tony Bradley covers the intersection of tech and entertainment. In 1971, a groundbreaking experiment was conducted in the basement ...

In 1971, Stanford University psychologist Philip Zimbardo conducted a notorious experiment in which he randomly divided college students into two groups, guards and prisoners, and set them loose in a ...
