The famed collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory has ended operations, but if all goes to plan, a new collider will rise ...

Scientists saw a quark plowing through primordial plasma for the first time, offering a rare look at the first moments after ...

A microscopic clump of sodium has become the largest object ever to be observed as a wave, improving upon previous records by thousands of atoms. Quantum physics defines particles in terms of waves, ...

Humanity has worked itself into a position where we can detect a single high-energy particle from space and wonder where in ...

OpenAI's GPT-5.2 has derived a new formula for gluon interactions, overturning assumptions of zero amplitude and advancing theoretical physics.

Cavazos holds a PhD in atomic physics and runs the University of Chicago’s Quantum Educational Laboratory, where he teaches students about quantum computing. He hopes to see the technology used to ...

From DNA to nuclear physics, women made landmark discoveries only to be written out of history. This feature explores the ...

Complementing this exploration of historical gravity is the UK premiere of Sarah Ruhl’s Stage Kiss, directed by Blanche McIntyre. While tonally distinct from Frayn’s nuclear drama, Ruhl’s work engages ...

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.
