The weak nuclear force doesn't play by the normal rules — and, in fact, it breaks one of the biggest rules of all.

The race is on to harness the near-infinite power of nuclear fusion—by building a star on Earth. And scientists are closer ...

Unstable atoms emit fast-moving particles that can damage cells in the human body. Some atoms are far more unstable than ...

Think of it this way: if you roll a ball toward a wall, it will bounce back. That's normal physics. But in the quantum world, ...

The universe is full of different types of radiation and particles that can be observed on Earth, including photons in the ...

Abstract: To differentiate the electron and hole traps inside polymers, a model based on the pulsed electro-acoustic (PEA) method is proposed. It is premised that under short-term DC electric field ...

Could black holes help explain the origins of high-energy cosmic radiation? The universe is filled with many forms of ...

Proton today announced a complete overhaul of its Mail app on Android and iPhone built on an all-new Rust codebase. “Over the past year, we embarked on an ambitious project to rebuild Proton Mail’s ...

Irish physicist William Rowan Hamilton’s pioneering work contained hints of the enigmatic wave–particle duality that governs ...

When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, showers of radiation, and even the building blocks of gold and platinum.

Why do some elements decay in minutes, while others last billions of years? Certain "magic numbers" of nuclear particles may ...
