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 ...

I N 2025 A GROUP of theoretical physicists studying the behaviour of fundamental particles called gluons hit a brick wall in their calculations. In search of a fresh perspective, ...

Scientists have discovered that before black holes collide with neutron stars and merge, these extreme stellar remnants can swirl around each other in oval orbits rather than in c ...

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

Superluminous supernovas are the brightest stellar explosions in the universe. Astronomers may have found a mechanism that can trigger these events.

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.

Physicists at CERN have refined measurements of an extremely rare kaon decay seen only once in 10 billion events.

Restricting a strange class of particles known as anyons to one dimension could force them into adopting one of two new forms ...

Measuring rocket pollution, how calcium induced an ice age, unpacking dark matter and a listener question about freezing flows ...

In this video, we explore the Standard Model of particle physics, detailing the quantum field theories that describe fundamental particles and forces in the universe. Topics covered include: - ...

Scientists discovered “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, demonstrating how the facility has evolved to support quantum computing research. Researchers at ATLAS observed ...

A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole with a "dark charge." If true, this theory could lead to a definitive catalog ...
