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 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 ...

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 ...

A study of the impact of 'boomerang fathers' -- those who cycle in and out of their children's lives -- found they provided a type of stability in a daughter's life that staved off her depressive ...

Researchers found this odd behavior while reviewing archival X-ray observations of a black hole that's approximately 10 times as massive as our sun. Located about 17,000 light-years from Earth, the ...
