10% of US Students are English Learners

More than 1 in 10 of the nation’s approximately 50 million public school students speak a native language other than English, according to the latest federal data. Roughly 3 in 4 of these English learners speak Spanish.
Science Times - Meta-Theory in Physics Might Solve Wide-Ranging Problems Including The Mysteries of Universe and Life

Constructor Theory Could Explain Life, Universe, and Existence

A group of physicists is working on a new theory, called the constructor theory, which attempts to solve wide-ranging problems including what makes biological evolution possible and many more. The only problem is how to test their theory.

Ultraclean Graphene As High Performance Magnetic Field Sensors

A team from Cornell University has fabricated a miniature magnetic field sensor, using an ultrathin graphene "sandwich," that offers detection over a greater temperature change with enough sensitivity to sense subtleties in magnetic fields.

WATCH: NASA’s Guide to Near-Light-Speed Interstellar Travel

Sometimes science fiction goes beyond the imagination that even the impossible is made possible just like traveling through space in the speed of light as the characters explore the vastness of the universe. But the laws of physics do not allow that to happen in real life. In the new video of NASA, they showed what it would be like if someone is to travel in the speed of light.

Five Easy, Fun Science experiments to do With Kids at Home

You can help your child learn their science lessons through simple science projects. Easy projects that demonstrate scientific concepts, and show how these concepts apply in everyday life, will encourage them to explore the world of science further. Also, with schools closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, the following simple science projects will give the children something fun to do.

New Photodetector Exceeds 100% Efficiency

A team from Aalto University in Espoo, Finland, has created a black silicon photodetector that has exceeded 100%—the first to surpass what was thought to be the theoretical limit for external quantum efficiency.
A Visual Representation of Particles in a Wave

Simple Mod Can Keep Quantum States 10,000 Times Longer

Technological advancements have allowed physicists to manipulate and study quantum particles, their states, and their interactions. However, they still need to figure out how to keep quantum systems from decaying long enough to practically run computations and transfer information—and a simple solution might just solve the problem

Yale Creates Error-Correcting Cat for Quantum Computers

Physicists from Yale University have developed an "error-correcting cat". This device combines the concept of superposition from the famous Schrödinger's cat experiment, and the ability to fix some of the persisting problems with quantum computation.
