The Sun’s most violent flares are turning out to be even more extreme than I, or many solar physicists, had imagined. By ...

You’ve probably seen Lichtenberg figures before, those lightning-like traces left by high-voltage discharge. The safe way to create them is using an electron beam to embed charge inside an acrylic ...

Northrop Grumman is partnering with Vanderbilt University and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to use laser plasma ...

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up of my favourite research of 2025 I have chosen five stories in which ...

Since Einstein, physicists have found that certain entities can reach superluminal (that means "faster-than-light") speeds and still follow the cosmic rules laid down by special relativity.

Astronomers have uncovered a gargantuan black hole that appears to sit almost alone in space, with hardly any stars around it ...

China's ambitious new particle accelerator was meant to pick up where the Large Hadron Collider left off, but the project was ...

A California startup is serving up nuclear fusion with a side of alchemy. San Francisco-based Marathon Fusion announced it has discovered a method to turn mercury into gold during the nuclear fusion ...

Europe's physics lab CERN on Thursday said private donors had pledged $1 billion toward the construction of a new particle accelerator that would be by far the world's biggest. In a first, private ...

Science. Avi Loeb insists on the peculiarity of 3I/ATLAS: "Such a large anti-tail had never been observed before" Science. Earthquake in physics: a new study shows that a premise we have taken for ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...
