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 ...

New age dating of a boomerang found in a Polish cave has archaeologists abuzz that it could be the oldest boomerang on Earth.

When thrown properly, boomerangs can be lethal weapons. In fact, cave paintings in Australia show that they've been used as such for thousands of years, during hunting and war. Now, scientists think ...

A new analysis of a carved mammoth tusk first discovered four decades ago reveals it may be the world's oldest boomerang.
