Using quantum dots to generate brain signals offers new potential for treating blindness, Alzheimer's and even depression - Tom Keays

Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider hope that raising the energy of collisions still further will settle the question of the elusive Higgs particle - Tom Keays

A group of mathematicians are boycotting publisher Elsevier over the cost of its journals and support for controversial US legislation - Tom Keays

A truly revolutionary equation can change human existence more than all the great leaders of history. Meet the mathematical masters of the universe - Tom Keays

The same properties that make Morpho butterfly wings iridescent could help them detect inflammation in people - Tom Keays

A suite of artificial intelligence algorithms may become the ultimate chemistry set by predicting the properties of molecules that have never been made - Tom Keays

Despite having no new data, the world's largest particle smasher has released fresh analyses shedding some light on this most wanted of particles - Tom Keays

A small satellite that will measure whether Earth drags space-time as it spins will launch from Kourou, French Guiana, on a new European Space Agency rocket on 9 February - Tom Keays

The model of atoms as mini solar systems was supplanted by quantum fuzziness – now atoms have been forced to act more like the classical systems - Tom Keays

Graphene is hailed for its astonishing conductivity but a way to kill this easy flow of electrons brings superfast computers closer - Tom Keays

Technology makes our planet more vulnerable to solar outbursts than ever before. What are the risks to Earthlings as the sun gears up for peak activity? - Tom Keays

String balls, leptoquarks and lazy photons have yet to put in an appearance at the LHC, the world's largest particle smasher - Tom Keays

A quantum-mechanical twang has been detected in a bar of silicon – previously such movement had been measured only in particles - Tom Keays

What was supposed to be a superweapon in the battle to find out whether nature's fundamental constants vary has turned out to be a damp squib - Tom Keays

When Dan Shechtman said he had found "quasicrystalline" atomic symmetry, a Nobel laureate ridiculed him. Good thing he stuck to his guns - Tom Keays

Space is too cold for most chemical reactions – but they happen all the same. Could atoms and electrons be going underground? - Tom Keays

An artificial brain has taught itself to estimate the number of objects in an image without actually counting them, much as humans can - Tom Keays

We don't have to take the heat death of the universe lying down – a time crystal, symmetrical in time rather than space, would have the power to survive - Tom Keays

A barrage of experiments seems to show that we can predict the future – but they may tell us more about the scientific method, says Bob Holmes - Tom Keays

In the coldest labs in the universe, bucketfuls of liquid flow uphill and solids pass through one another. Michael Brooks enters the quantum looking-glass - Tom Keays

If there was a start to the universe, that means we have to explain how something just appeared from nothing - Tom Keays

Contrary to a bet Stephen Hawking once made, the singularity at the heart of a black hole could exist "naked" – at least in a five-dimensional universe - Tom Keays

Today's hard drives store data using bits made up of about a million magnetic atoms – that could be set to change - Tom Keays

The big bang may not have been the beginning of everything – but new calculations suggest we still need a cosmic starter gun - Tom Keays

We may not know what dark matter is but it's still helping to nail the properties of the equally mysterious dark energy - Tom Keays

Exotic explanations for mysterious dark matter may no longer be needed inside balls of stars known as globular clusters - Tom Keays

The finding is good news for conventional computer chips – but might be a problem for quantum computers - Tom Keays

Recent hints of the Higgs boson help explain why we have not seen evidence of supersymmetry yet – and point to fresh ways to focus the search - Tom Keays

When you crumple up your gift-wrapping paper this year, you'll create a shape so complex that it has defeated the most sophisticated computers - Tom Keays

In an exclusive interview with New Scientist to mark his 70th birthday this month, physicist Stephen Hawking looks back on his life and work - Tom Keays
