Some quantum particles gotta get right back to where they started from. Physicists have confirmed a theoretically predicted phenomenon called the quantum boomerang effect. An experiment reveals that, ...

For the first time, physicists have confirmed a weird quantum phenomenon in which tiny particles, when nudged out of place, will snap right back to where they came from. The strange behavior, called ...

Scientists have recorded the first evidence of a so-called "boomerang earthquake" occurring deep in the Atlantic Ocean. A boomerang occurs when a fracture proceeds in one direction before rapidly ...

Scientists discovered ultra-cold regions on the lunar surface and distant cosmic structures. Lunar craters could be the coldest in our solar system, with temperatures around 25 kelvins. However, the ...

An ancient, red giant star in the throes of a frigid death has produced the coldest known object in the cosmos — the Boomerang Nebula. How this star was able to create an environment strikingly colder ...
