Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in ...

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

The spiritual view of life is trapped between two opposite words, physics and metaphysics, the study of the physical world and the study of what might lie beyond the physical. Given a choice ...

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

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

The particles, says Xu, are among the many materials whose chemical and mechanical properties cannot be fully measured until scientists develop a better method of studying materials at the microscale ...

The ANITA experiment has found anomalous radio signals above Antarctica, prompting new investigations into mysterious subatomic particles.

Scientists have discovered mysterious radio pulses coming from beneath the ice in Antarctica (Picture: Stephanie Wissel/Penn State) Scientists have detected a series of unusual signals from ...

Scientists have discovered mysterious radio signals emerging from deep beneath Antarctica's ice - and have no idea what's causing them.

This experiment plays a pivotal role in the search for neutrinos—elusive particles with no charge and the smallest mass of all subatomic particles.

Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the point of breaking. Two teams of physicists ...
