A major physics experiment has uncovered evidence for a strange new form of matter, where a fleeting particle gets trapped inside a nucleus. This exotic state may reveal how mass is generated, ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most successful theories, hinting at unknown forces or quantum objects. Now, an ...

High-energy cosmic rays, 10 million times more powerful than particles accelerated in Earth's strongest atom smasher, may hide a superheavy secret that is the key to unlocking a 60-year-old puzzle.

Scientists chasing thunderstorms in a retrofitted minivan finally captured something never seen before in nature: faint electrical glows shimmering from treetops during a storm. These “corona ...

UNDERWAY NOW: RUSH-HOUR RACE Balloon pilots from across the country gather in Louisville for the Great Balloon Race and the Balloon Glow. Twenty-five pilots will take to the skies Saturday morning for ...

CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron has a resonant “ghost.” Using mathematics, physicists measured and modeled how these resonant lines intersect. Modeling a 3D shape over time requires a 4D system of ...

A single subatomic particle from deep space had the same energy as a baseball pitch, and scientists still don’t know how it got here ...

What use is a quantum computer? Perhaps both more and less than you think, according to quantum computing expert Shayan Majidy ...
