The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Scientists believe that about 85% of the universe’s matter is invisible, existing as mysterious particles known as dark matter. To search for these particles, researchers have built highly sensitive ...

Forces have mediator particles. Electromagnetism is mediated by the photons, for example. So most of the decay of this excited dark matter particle would be this unknown mediator. The excited state ...

Deep canyons in the Andes are the perfect location to catch the most energetic particles in the universe. Carlos Argüelles-Delgado reveals how these intergalactic envoys could help prove the quantum n ...

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

Following strikes on Iranian oil facilities, toxic "black rain" contaminated with pollutants has fallen in parts of Iran, prompting a WHO health warning over serious respiratory risks, as experts ...

Reports of “black rain” in Iran - caused by soot and toxic pollutants from oil facility fires- have raised global health concerns, the World Health Organization warns. Experts say the polluted ...

Recent strikes on Middle Eastern oil and desalination infrastructure have triggered a dire environmental ...

A single particle cut through the Mediterranean in February 2023 carrying an almost absurd amount of energy. Detected deep off the coast of Sicily by the KM3NeT/ARCA neutrino telescope, the neutrino ...

Physicists at Boston University have achieved what amounts to a long-sought benchmark in quantum measurement: detecting the ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reveals new clues about a mysterious cosmic explosion that defies expectations. Researchers are investigating an unusual event in deep space that has left scientists ...

You may not think of your bones as buildings, but researchers do. A team from Cornell University, Purdue University and Case Western Reserve University believes that by studying the internal structure ...
