The 7th international workshop on new Photon-Detectors took place from 3 to 5 December 2025 at Bologna’s Palazzo d’Accursio.

Cern researchers are testing traps capable of moving antimatter, which explodes into energy as soon as it comes into contact with regular matter ...

A radical idea that resolves many quantum paradoxes suggests there is no objective view of reality. How can the cosmos be stitched together from interlocking perspectives?

The LHCb collaboration at CERN has confirmed the observation of an ultra-rare particle decay that has puzzled physicists for ...

We all know that stars radiate light and much more. But radiation belts can also surround many other celestial bodies, such ...

Dimensions beyond the four we’re familiar with could solve a host of problems in physics and cosmology. Columnist Leah Crane ...

Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting how electrons lose energy in ways that classical physics cannot explain when ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new computational method that could accelerate the search for next-generation materials capable of turning sunlight into useful chemical energy. The work focuses ...

Erich Lohrmann, an experimental physicist who shaped the research programme at DESY, passed away on 10 January 2026 at the age of 94.

Space is tough on materials. Radiation, UV light, atomic oxygen and sharp temperature swings can degrade metals, polymers and coatings over time. This article looks at the current ways researchers are ...

Although dark matter makes up most of the mass in our universe, it has never been directly observed. To hunt for lighter dark matter and other rare ...
