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, ...

Physicists have taken a major step toward using AI not just to analyze data, but to uncover entirely new laws of nature. By combining a specially designed neural network with precise 3D tracking of ...

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.

The mother of a Queensland toddler who is in an induced coma after inhaling a dust used for decorating cakes is calling for similar products to no longer be sold. Gold Coast baker Katie Robinson said ...

Humans broke the environment — but we can heal it, too. Up From Dust is a podcast about the price of trying to shape the world around our needs, as seen from the Great Plains and the Midwest. Host ...

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 ...

The size of any viral or bacterial particle can provide a useful insight into how these infecting species can wreak havoc on host cells. Since the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS ...

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 ...
