Why is there so much methane in the atmosphere right now?

The greenhouse gas methane is 28 times more powerful than CO2, and its presence is increasing in the atmosphere.

Giant lasers will capture waves in space: The idea was considered crazy 30 years ago

“Sometimes dreams do come true,” says Helena Kolesova, a particle physicist at the University of Stavanger.

If your best friend moves to Mars, how difficult would it be to talk to each other?

Light travels fast. But things don't move very fast when it comes to having conversations with people on other planets.

New space telescope will shed light on dark sides of the universe

The European space telescope Euclid has been launched. One researcher predicts this will be one of the largest mapping projects of how matter is distributed in the universe.

Europe collaborates on solar telescope to the tune of 200 million euros

It will be almost three times as large as its predecessor. The new giant telescope will teach us what happens in the magnetic field of the sun.

Is it really possible to find water with dowsing rods?

For physicist Arnt Inge Vistnes, dowsing is in the blood. He is one of the few researchers who has studied the phenomenon.

A new, «Superman» way to detect hidden corrosion

SHARE YOUR SCIENCE: Even without Superman’s X-ray vision, this probe can see corrosion through 30-40 mm of steel!

Seabed methane release follows the rhythm of the tides

SHARE YOUR SCIENCE: Methane is constantly being released from the seabed into the ocean. A recent study in the Arctic Ocean shows that this release follows pressure changes in the sea level related to daily lunar cycles.

Five myths about the Big Bang

Where did the Big Bang happen, and what was going on around it? Two physicists take us through the most common misunderstandings of what the theory is about.

Smartphones still need to be charged daily. So what's happened to the battery revolution we've been promised?

The media often portray laboratory results as market-ready products, one battery researcher says.

Retiring the prototype kilogram

The kilogram is the last international measurement standard that relies on a precisely crafted physical object. This standard-bearer will soon be replaced by space-age measurements based on physical constants.

Are soccer roars self-amplifying?

Does the volume double when two persons yell together? A reader has questions about the hoots and hollers of the crowd at his local football stadium.

Dark matter: how can we know if it exists?

There may be a whole invisible galaxy in the middle of the Milky Way, with dark suns and planets, and maybe even dark life.

Tracking the Earth’s magnetic field in Northern Lights

Physicists are keen on solving the mysteries of the Earth’s magnetic field. Their curiosity has a practical side – when solar storms that create the aurora are bent by the magnetic field, it can affect technologies that modern civilization depends on.
