When particles in volcanic ash cloud rub together, some pick up positive charge and others negative – now physicists have ...

By merging Matter protocol with epistemic logic, we integrate the most promising health-specific tools on the market, make defeasible and explainable solutions for a potential emergency, and allow for ...

An international collaboration, including Northwestern University, has reached a critical milestone in the search for dark matter, the mysterious substance that makes up about 85% of all matter in the ...

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have created a new and unusual state of matter—known as a supersolid—by engineering how light and matter interact inside a nanoscale device. The ...

Sophie Bartlett receives funding from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), grant reference: ES/W012227/1, and is part of Administrative Data Research (ADR) Wales. Chris Taylor receives ...

Dark matter keeps getting blamed for the universe’s big patterns while staying stubbornly out of reach. You cannot see it, touch it, or capture it. Yet its gravity helps shape galaxies, and that makes ...

The dynamic fluctuations of energy fields in the quantum vacuum that are associated with the fleeting emergence of spin-aligned quark/antiquark pairs.Valerie A. Lentz/Brookhaven National Laboratory US ...

A window into how visible matter emerges from the "nothing" of vacuum has been opened by physicists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New York. The ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that particles of matter emerging from energetic subatomic smashups retain a key ...

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties and—perhaps oddest of all—particles that spontaneously spring into being from the ...

Dark matter is a mysterious substance that glues galaxies together. This map from the James Webb Space Telescope could help scientists finally figure out what it is. Using data from the James Webb ...
