In general, the body’s natural healing process can effectively handle cuts, scrapes, burns, and other types of wounds. However, for individuals with diabetes, this may…
Caltech engineers have made a significant breakthrough in the field of nano- and micro-architected materials by creating a novel material composed of multiple interconnected microscale…
A new analysis has revealed the presence of “nonlinear” effects contained in gravitational waves. When two black holes merge to form a larger black hole,…
Engineers from Caltech have discovered that Leonardo da Vinci’s understanding of gravity—though not wholly accurate—was centuries ahead of his time. In an article published in…
The randomness in quantum machines helps confirm their accuracy. Quantum computers and other quantum systems experience information spreading and rapid scrambling, similar to the way…
A recent development offers a method to confirm the validity of experiments investigating the peculiar behavior of atomic-scale systems. Physics gets strange at the atomic…
Zwicky Transient Facility Makes First Discovery of a Rare Cosmic “Lunch” Astronomers caught a black hole chomping on a nearby star and releasing jets in…

Gut Microbes Influence Binge-Eating of Sweet Treats in Mice We have all been there. You just meant to have a single Oreo cookie as a…
Physicists observe wormhole dynamics using a quantum computer in a step toward studying quantum gravity in the lab. For the first time, scientists have developed…
Caltech mathematicians Alex Dunn and Maksym Radziwill finally prove “Patterson’s conjecture.” A perplexing feature of numbers first stumbled upon by German mathematician Ernst Kummer has…
Technology capable of collecting solar power in space and beaming it to Earth to provide a global supply of clean and affordable energy was once…
How coastal ocean currents increase Antarctic ice shelf melt. A new model suggests that Antarctica’s ice shelves may be melting at an accelerated rate, which…
If you’re in a major city nearly anywhere in the world, it is likely quite easy to grab a cheap hamburger from a nearby fast-food…
A Q&A with Caltech alumnus John Clauser on his first experimental proof of quantum entanglement. When scientists, including Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger, first discovered…
Reach out right now and touch anything around you. Whether it was the wood of your desk, a key on your keyboard, or the fur…
Inspired by the way termites build their nests, scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) developed a framework to design new materials that mimic…
Physicists prove that classical machine learning models can improve predictions about quantum materials. Quantum computers have generated a lot of buzz and for good reason….
