You are an energy field — but not the “chakras” or “auras” kind.
Plants at room temperature show properties we had only seen near absolute zero.
Gamma-ray bursts are so powerful they could vaporize the Earth from 200 light-years away. Recreating them in the lab is not easy.
LK-99, almost certainly, isn't a room-temperature superconductor. The underlying physics of the phenomenon helps us understand why.
There may be unknown particles lurking inside the quantum foam.
Once the initial blaze of heat dissipated, the constituent particles of atoms were free to bind.
A Fermilab study confirms decades-old measurements regarding the size and structure of protons.
Our greatest tool for exploring the world inside atoms and molecules, and specifically electron transitions, just won 2023's Nobel Prize.
In our Universe, all stable atomic nuclei have protons in them; there's no stable "neutronium" at all. But what's the reason why?
The hunt for the elusive particles continues.
There might be a hard limit to our knowledge of the Universe.
If there are three neutrino species, all with different masses, then how is energy conserved when they oscillate from one flavor to another?
Millennia ago, philosophers like Anaximander grasped that nature is the ultimate recycler.
There are so many problems, all across planet Earth, that harm and threaten humanity. Why invest in researching the Universe?
In the early stages of the hot Big Bang, there were only free protons and neutrons: no atomic nuclei. How did the first elements form from them?
The question of why the Universe is the way it is is an ancient one, and none of the answers we have come up with are satisfying.
Lasers are all around you. This ubiquitous technology came from our understanding of quantum physics.
Particle physicists use gigantic accelerators to investigate the infinitesimal.
Amplifying the energy within a laser, over and over, won't get you an infinite amount of energy. There's a fundamental limit due to physics.
When you bring two fingers together, you can feel them "touch" each other. But are your atoms really touching, and if so, how?
Every timekeeping device works via a version of a pendulum — even the atomic clocks that are accurate to nanoseconds.
Photons come in every wavelength you can imagine. But one particular quantum transition makes light at precisely 21 cm, and it's magical.
Back during the hot Big Bang, it wasn't just charged particles and photons that were created, but also neutrinos. Where are they now?
Your life’s memories could, in principle, be stored in the universe’s structure.
When you combine the Uncertainty Principle with Einstein's famous equation, you get a mind-blowing result: Particles can come from nothing.
With a bigger, better, and more sensitive detector, the XENON collaboration joins LZ and PANDA-X in constraining WIMP dark matter.
For years and over three separate experiments, "lepton universality" appeared to violate the Standard Model. LHCb at last proved otherwise.
We can reasonably say that we understand the history of the Universe within one-trillionth of a second after the Big Bang. That's not good enough.
How are we to deal with the quantization of spacetime and gravity?
