Almost anytime physicists announce that they’ve discovered a new particle, whether it’s the Higgs boson or the recently bagged double-charm tetraquark, what they’ve actually spotted is a small bump ...

In 2016, Earth’s South Pole was struck by a ghostly particle from some unknown corner of the universe. This antineutrino — the neutrino’s antimatter twin — collided with an electron at nearly the ...

Scientists at the world’s largest stellarator facility, Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X), have successfully generated high-energy helium-3 ions for the first time. “In the world’s largest stellarator facility, ...

Just like there are waves in the ocean, waves can also occur in an electrically charged gas called a plasma, made up of electrons and ions. In the ocean, people surf by riding their boards at nearly ...

If she hits just the right pitch, a singer can shatter a wine glass. The reason is resonance. While the glass may vibrate slightly in response to most acoustic tones, a pitch that resonates with the ...
