A new streaming technique allows playback of data while it is being generated. When scientists want to look at a...
Theoretical physicists at Utrecht University, together with experimental physicists at Sogang University in South Korea, have succeeded in building an...
It’s the most fundamental of processes—the evaporation of water from the surfaces of oceans and lakes, the burning off of...
Single-photon emitters (SPEs) are akin to microscopic lightbulbs that emit only one photon (a quantum of light) at a time....
For most stars, neutron stars and black holes are their final resting places. When a supergiant star runs out of...
What is the mass of a neutrino at rest? This is one of the big unanswered questions in physics. Neutrinos...
IceCube researchers detect a rare type of energetic neutrino sent from powerful astronomical objects
About a trillion tiny particles called neutrinos pass through you every second. Created during the Big Bang, these “relic” neutrinos...
Electrons inside solid materials can only take certain values of energy. The allowed energy ranges are called “bands,” and the...
In the nine decades since humans first produced fusion reactions, only a few fusion technologies have demonstrated the ability to...
Machine learning could help reveal undiscovered particles within data from the Large Hadron Collider
Scientists used a neural network, a type of brain-inspired machine learning algorithm, to sift through large volumes of particle collision...
Earthquakes and landslides are famously difficult to predict and prepare for. By studying a miniature version of the ground in...
With every new particle accelerator built for research, scientists have an opportunity to push the limits of discovery. But this...
