When humans think about time, most imagine a steady flow of seconds ticking into minutes and minutes into hours which carry us from past to present to future. But in the science of quantum physics, ...

In February 2023, a cosmic particle detector housed deep in the Mediterranean Sea recorded the arrival of a neutrino with approximately 20 to 30 times more energy than any other neutrino documented ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

The Navy has ordered medical providers who screen sailors for some of its most hazardous assignments to undergo training after finding unmet requirements during health exams. The special duty ...

Listen to more stories on the Noa app. Last month, a small company in San Francisco announced that it had a plan to manufacture gold—not merely a flake or a nugget, but tons of the stuff. According to ...

Radioactive waste from the earliest days of the US nuclear weapons program is being repurposed into a promising new cancer therapy. For years, researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in ...

The first-known observations of matter–antimatter asymmetry in a decaying composite subatomic particle that belongs to the baryon class are reported from the LHCb experiment located at the Large ...

Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a superposition of multiple states, as popularized by the Schrödinger's cat analogy, ...

Uranium was discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth, a German chemist. It is a radioactive element found naturally in the environment in very small amounts — scientists call these trace amounts — in ...

Anomalous radio signals detected in Antarctica by the ANITA experiment were coming upward from Earth rather than down from the sky. Researchers used digital and mathematical simulations to test ...
