From a particle smasher encircling the moon to an “impossible” laser, five scientists reveal the experiments they would run ...

This experiment uses a warm liquid on ice to explore how heat actually moves and dissipates. Instead of melting evenly, the ice reacts in unexpected patterns that reveal strange thermal behavior. It’s ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the cosmos’s dark matter.

A research team at Duke University has developed a new AI framework that can uncover simple, understandable rules that govern ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest discoveries in modern physics — a phenomenon where two particles behave as a single object, even across vast distances. Einstein rejected it, calling it ...

Scientists have made leaps and bounds in bending atoms to their will, making them into everything from ultraprecise clocks to ...

Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...

For more than 40 years, physicist John Conway has led research in high-energy particle physics, a field driven by a simple ...

"Precision in these measurements is critical, as even subtle discrepancies could signal deviations from the model — potentially revealing new physics." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

This new AI acts like a digital scientist, turning messy data into simple rules that explain how the world really works.

A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden ...
