Using a precisely aligned pair of laser beams, scientists can now hold a single aerosol particle in place and monitor how it charges up. The particle’s glow signals each step in its changing ...

Physicists have found evidence of X particles in the quark-gluon plasma produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, based near Geneva, ...

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory in China has successfully completed its first proof-of-concept experiment.

Fangqun Yu's advanced model simulates contrail formation, proposing ice-nucleating particles to reduce their climate impact ...

At every moment, subatomic particles stream in unfathomable numbers through your body. Each second, about 100 billion neutrinos from the sun pass through your thumbnail, and you’re bathed in a rain of ...

Researchers are discovering that microscopic plastics are not only polluting the environment but also accumulating inside the ...

Transmission electron micrograph of SARS-CoV-2 virus particles, isolated from a patient. Image captured and color-enhanced at the NIAID Integrated Research Facility (IRF) in Fort Detrick, Maryland.

Massive gravitons may have formed a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang, in abundances great enough to account for dark matter. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

The fact that like charges repel and opposites attract is basic electromagnetism. But for decades scientists have occasionally made a counterintuitive, and controversial, observation: similarly ...

The Standard Model is the modern physical understanding of three of the four forces of nature: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. When you purchase through links on ...
