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

Scientists have uncovered that some atoms in liquids don't move at all—even at extreme temperatures—and these anchored atoms dramatically alter the way materials freeze. Using advanced electron ...

Let’s start with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility (NIF)—arguably the largest, most ...

Scientists finally caught solar neutrinos triggering a rare atomic transformation once thought nearly impossible to observe.

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

LUX-ZEPLIN, one of the largest dark matter detectors in the world, is based at the Sanford Underground Research Facility ...

Why do neutrinos, these elementary particles, sometimes seem to act in such a puzzling way? For decades, physicists have been faced with this puzzle, observing behaviors that do not fit ...

Associate Professor Ben Sullivan explores the connections between local meadows and the health of the environment ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is estimated to account for most of ...

Observations of the formation of light-nuclei from high-energy collisions may help in the hunt for dark matter.

Dust devils on Mars form when air near the warm surface heats up and rises through cooler surrounding air, causing nearby air ...
