PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- This week on 6abc's Shelter Me, we're featuring Nova, a resilient mixed-breed pup from Providence Animal Center in Media, Pennsylvania. Nova's journey hasn't been easy. She was ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in equations rather than explained from first principles. A new proposal argues that ...

A research team has successfully imaged a nova in high resolution—and the images suggest that the nova was not a single, impulsive explosion. A nova is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs in a ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...
