Solving life's great mysteries often requires detective work, using observed outcomes to determine their cause. For instance, ...

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...

In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics describes all known ...

Muon radiography relies on the muon, a kind of subatomic particle very similar to the electron, except it’s about 200 times more massive and lasts only a few millionths of a second. Despite ...

A physicist proposes that time has three dimensions instead of one, which could finally unite quantum mechanics and ...

A new theory of the fabric of the universe has proposed that time has three dimensions. Moreover, this model leads to the ...

Quantum plasmonic biosensors enable self-illumination for real-time, label-free diagnostics with scalable point-of-care applications.

Collaboration has obtained a high-precision cosmic-ray boron spectrum in the energy range of 10 GeV/n–8 TeV/n, and discovered ...

Silver-110’s decay reveals a promising path to measure antineutrino mass. New data could reshape future neutrino studies.

Physicists are a step closer to using quantum computers for simulations that are beyond the ability of any ordinary computers ...

It's a regrettable reality that there is never enough time to cover all the interesting scientific stories we come across ...

After six years of collecting data, the muon g-2 experiment released its results and could chart a new path for particle physics.
