The Standard Model of our universe doesn’t match the evidence, in part because of dark energy, a ghostly force pushing the ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The ...

They're called ghost particles for a reason. They're everywhere—trillions of them constantly stream through everything: our ...

If you want to explain what was and what is, you need particle physics. Because everything we see consists of molecules and atoms, and atoms in turn consist of atomic nuclei and electrons. The atomic ...

Scientists announced on Wednesday that they have found no evidence for the hypothetical “sterile neutrino,” an extra version of the ghostly neutrino particles that are ubiquitous in the universe. The ...

Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the detector's first results are in — and they're very promising. When you purchase ...

For nearly two decades, CEO Elon Musk has promised Tesla would make a more affordable electric vehicle, to, as he put it in 2006, “help expedite the move from a mine-and-burn hydrocarbon economy ...

Flawless Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Ellie Thumann took to social media to show what she sleeps in — a comfy-looking PJs set that included matching shorts and triangle top and shows off her ...

A scientist from the University of Southampton claims to have solved the notorious Bermuda Triangle mystery. Situated between Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico, this precarious stretch of sea is known ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: String theory—the idea that particles are not point-like, but instead one-dimensional strings—is a popular theoretical framework that attempts to ...

UC Santa Cruz physicist Stefano Profumo has put forward two imaginative but scientifically grounded theories that may help solve one of the biggest mysteries in physics: the origin of dark matter. In ...
