Physicists found signs of a key shift in nuclear matter, a potential "tipping point." The study narrows where the strong ...

Go visit a sacred ancient site, if possible one featuring a high density of megalithic architecture, and when you get back tell me, hand on heart, you didn’t feel something. Modern archaeology, for ...

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called ...

(THE CONVERSATION) A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What happens to these particles within atoms would ...

I’m lucky to learn firsthand about some of the world’s most cutting-edge technologies. I’ve seen artificial intelligence ace an AP biology test, long before AI became an everyday tool. I’ve seen ...

Determining the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the greatest puzzles in physics. New results from the world's most sensitive ...

Different types of microplastics including fibers, fragments, sheets, and beads were identified under a stereomicroscope, and their composition was determined using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. This ...

Plastic nanoparticles have been found in the edible parts of vegetables for the first time, raising fresh concerns about plastic pollution affecting the human food chain. Scientists at the University ...

Neutrino lasers: It’s an idea that many physicists didn’t see coming. At first glance, physics suggests that it would be impossible to make a laser of neutrinos, famously elusive subatomic particles.

Do kaons decay using a new kind of physics? Researchers are trying to explain their anomalous findings. Their larger experiment is an ongoing investigation of CP symmetry. The anomalies could be ...

"Trying to lock in on dark matter's signal is like trying to hear somebody whisper in a stadium full of people." Scientists are about to unleash a powerful new weapon in the hunt for dark matter, the ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.
