(Mass Appeal) – April 22 is Earth Day, and we thought it would be fun to experiment with erosion using three basic materials: plastic bottles, soil, and water. Dr. Yadilette Rivera-Colón, Board Chair ...

As the youthful universe congealed under the pull of gravity, matter knotted itself into galaxies, galaxy clusters and filaments, weaving a dazzlingly intricate cosmic web. This web’s structure is ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Final results from a long-running U.S.-based experiment announced Tuesday show a tiny particle continues to act strangely — but that’s still good news for the laws of physics as we know them.

This morning we welcomed back Jolting Jonathan from Mad Science of Southern Massachusetts & Rhode Island as he shared some fun experiments with Brendan Kirby! Learn more about them and book ...
