Texas A&M University professor Peter McIntyre and his colleagues want to build a particle accelerator around the rim of the Gulf of Mexico in order to discover the most fundamental building blocks of the universe.
Two new studies highlight the enigmatic nature of antimatter, revealing its potential role in both understanding the universe's origins and unlocking the secrets of particle physics.
Storms in the tropics were seen emitting medium-duration gamma rays, shaking up conventional knowledge about how lightning manifests.
Using an advanced imaging technique, engineers got a glimpse of water being formed at the smallest scale ever.
A new study reveals why rubbing two things together can generate electricity.
The tripartite observatory will be as big as the Sun and detect ripples in spacetime itself.
LCLS-II-HE is the second upgrade in as many years for a laser beam in Menlo Park, California, that reveals some of nature's most microscopic mysteries in sharp detail.
The team added new limits to how dark matter could interact with the LIGO detector, boosting hopes for future runs.
Turns out ordinary food dye can make living tissue safe and temporarily transparent. Still, maybe don't try it on your kids.
Despite its shutdown after just 15 days, the ephemeral network carries significant implications for cybersecurity and future quantum applications.
The timekeeping device is made with atomic nuclei of thorium, although it is not yet more precise than standard atomic clocks.
Physicists have detected the heaviest antimatter atoms, bolstering antimatter theories and the search for dark matter.
The microscopic diamonds spin a billion times per minute and could help reveal the relationship between quantum mechanics and gravity.
The condiment's unique—and, to some, off-putting—texture serves as a useful tool in studying phase transitions in capsules that contain fuel for fusion.
Scientists have developed a new model that explains how photon efficiency changes at higher wavelengths, paving the way for a more efficient quantum internet.
Signatures of hydrogen in spectrograms hint at places in the universe where new physics might lurk.
The unusually large Muon has threatened the Standard Model for decades, but new data parks the particle inside the cozy confines of established physics.
The experiment paves the way to potentially making an entirely new one: element 120, also known as the "island of stability."
Images from inside a fusion reactor show how one of nature's most extreme processes is replicated on Earth.
