A remarkable consequence of quantum mechanics is that electrons can display interference effects. This interference is similar to waves interacting in the ocean or the electromagnetic waves that carry ...

When black holes collide, the impact radiates into space like the sound of a bell in the form of gravitational waves. But after the waves, there comes a second reverberation—a murmur that physicists ...

The brain has an astonishing capacity to detect patterns in the world. So much so, that it will often create patterns where none exist. Pareidolia is the tendency to see familiar shapes in random ...
