The brain rewires itself to multitask, fast animals experience time in slow motion, an archival excerpt about a Russian space ...

A blip of light in the outer reaches of the Milky Way might be a bizarre black hole born at the beginning of time itself—and ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — must be incomplete, because there are a host of phenomena it cannot ...

According to quantum field theory—which is thought to be the most successful theory in all of physics for its ability to ...

Mystery no more Artist’s conception of the magnetic moment of the muon – a sub-atomic particle similar to, but heavier than, ...

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...

Scientists have discovered that ultraheavy atomic nuclei could explain some of the highest-energy cosmic rays ever observed.

Physicists searching for a better understanding of quantum gravity stumbled upon something unexpected: the defining signatures of string theory.

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to belong to one of two categories — bosons or fermions — but researchers have ...

Particle physics dives into the very depths of the universe – the particles that make up atoms. Over the past century, we have peeled back the layers and uncovered more about the make-up of subatomic ...
