Physicists have taken a major step toward using AI not just to analyze data, but to uncover entirely new laws of nature. By ...

Massive, invisible stars that formed in the earliest days of the Universe may hold clues to the true nature of dark matter.

A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the ...

Abstract: Particle image velocimetry (PIV) and particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) are important flow visualization technologies for measuring global velocity fields in a nonintrusive manner. However, ...

Smaller than an atom, but majorly important: introducing the quark! Quarks helped make sense of particle physics, and we'll tell you all about it in this new episode of SciShow! Hosted by: Stefan Chin ...

Neutrino particles have extremely small masses, yet there are so many of them that they carve out the large-scale structure of the entire universe. Scientists are getting close to figuring out how.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ), Garching, in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Randolf Pohl from the Institute for Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), ...

For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...

A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole with a "dark charge." If true, this theory could lead to a definitive catalog ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though quantum physics says their exact position is fundamentally uncertain. Now, ...
