In a first-of-its-kind experiment conducted at the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), scientists have attempted to discover if the universe's heaviest ...

Scientists have now mapped the forces acting inside a proton, showing in unprecedented detail how quarks—the tiny particles ...

The Sun periodically ejects huge bubbles of plasma from its surface that contain an intense magnetic field. These events are ...

Particles in high-energy nuclear collisions move in a way that follows a pattern known as Lévy walks, a motion found across ...

Physicists measure the mass of subatomic particles in units called electron volts, or eV. According to theory, the W boson ...

A stunning new discovery reveals that white dwarf stars — once thought to explode in predictable ways — actually detonate through an astonishing variety of mechanisms. From star cannibalism to violent ...

Astrophysicists have unearthed a surprising diversity in the ways in which white dwarf stars explode in deep space after ...

Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...

"History shows us that whenever you do open a new 'energy window,' you never really know what you're going to find. It's completely unexplored." ...

There are several mechanisms that limit spin-relaxation time, one of the most important being depolarization caused by collisions with the cell walls that enclose the atomic vapour. Surface ...

A decade ago, physicists using twin detectors in Washington State and Louisiana detected gravitational waves—subtle ripples ...

Washington (CNN) — Investigators trying to determine what caused last week’s deadly midair collision between a US military Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines plane near Washington ...
