The world's longest-running lab experiment is an ongoing work in sheer scientific patience. It has been running continuously ...

In this guest blog, Karen McNulty Walsh of Brookhaven National Laboratory explains how Michigan Technological University ...

Under extreme planetary conditions, water turns into a strange, electricity-conducting solid hidden deep inside giant planets.

Muons are unstable subatomic particles that spontaneously and rapidly transform into other particles via a process known as ...

The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Basic Sciences has gone in this eighteenth edition to physicists Allan ...

George Smoot, who led the team that first measured tiny fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background, passed away on 18 ...

Some have argued that the good agreement between lattice–QCD and the final measurement of Fermilab’s muon g–2 experiment ...

In this video I show a quick marshmallow experiment that turns a simple plastic syringe into a mini physics lab. Using just mini marshmallows and air, I demonstrate how changing pressure inside the ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

For centuries, the principle of symmetry has guided physicists towards more fundamental truths, but now a slew of shocking ...

A new discovery in physics can be exciting, but are scientists declaring quantum victory too soon? Many breakthroughs aren't ...

At the heart of our sun, fusion is unfolding. As hydrogen atoms merge to form helium, they emit energy, producing the heat ...
