It’s a powerful technique, but small uncertainties at each step can add up, something critics argue may be behind the Hubble ...

Current physics is speeding toward a breaking point, as astronomers confirm that the Hubble tension in new data.

Scientists are testing a novel way to measure cosmic expansion using time delays in gravitationally lensed quasars. Their ...

The universe’s expansion rate was supposed to be a solved problem, yet the latest high precision map of the early cosmos has ...

The tension of cell membranes (which are made of lipid bilayers) plays an important role in a host of biological processes, such as cell motility, endocytosis and cell division, but measuring this ...

Mechanical interactions play a crucial role in epithelial morphogenesis, yet understanding the complex mechanisms through which stress and deformation affect cell behaviour remains an open problem.

Ever wonder what makes water dance around your windshield the way it does? It’s all a matter of surface tension: a simple set of rules that makes science sometimes look like art. Stanford’s Nate J.
