Diamond is famous in material science for being the best natural heat conductor on Earth—but new research reveals that, at ...
The ocean is saturated with microplastics. While we know the location of the great garbage patches, where plastic particles ...
Scientists hunted dark matter and solar neutrinos with one of the largest experiments yet. While the neutrinos likely ...
With contributions from Brown faculty and students, the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment analyzed the largest dataset ever collected by ...
Neutrinos are tiny subatomic particles that barely interact with matter. They can pass through planets without stopping. The ...
At the foot of the thickly forested Dashi Hill, in southern China’s Guangdong province, pre-approved visitors can take a ride aboard a unique yellow train. Rather than winding through the serene ...

An artistic illustration of the mechanism proposed by Professor Stefano Profumo where quantum effects near the rapidly expanding cosmic horizon after the Big Bang gravitationally generate dark matter ...
It is just over a year since Cern, home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), became the base for the three-year pilot phase of the Open Quantum Institute (OQI). The OQI is a multi-stakeholder, global, ...
WASHINGTON — A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine presents an ambitious and comprehensive long-term vision for the field of particle physics to further our ...
The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...
If photons possess more quantum states than expected, it would overhaul our understanding of all particle physics – and now physicists have identified a way to test this radical idea in an experiment.
