Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise ...

In a new study, scientists have shown that chemical receptors that plants use to recognize nitrogen-fixing bacteria have ...

Making electrons flow like a liquid is difficult, but inside graphene researchers forced them to move so fast that they ...

Scientists may have finally uncovered the mystery behind ultra-high-energy cosmic rays — the most powerful particles known in ...

So how do you get an electron to float on top of helium? To find out, Ars spoke with Johannes Pollanen, the chief scientific officer of EeroQ, the company that accomplished the new work. He said that ...

NASA’s IMAP mission will explore the heliosphere and study how it shields Earth from cosmic radiation and space weather.

"The idea was that protons and neutrons sit in shells, a bit like the electrons in an atom, and nuclear excitations would involve protons and neutrons jumping up and down between those shells," ...

Low nitrogen availability is the number one limitation to plant growth in most ecosystems. Plants in the bean family and other closely related families evolved a symbiotic relationship with bacteria ...

We’ve reached the limit of a very successful way to make new elements in the lab. In new research, scientists unveil a new take on that technology and report its success. The heaviest elements could ...

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, ...
