The new theory, developed by physicists at Aalto University, describes gravity in a way that’s compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics,...

In exploring how crystals form, researchers at New York University came across an unusual, rod-shaped crystal that hadn’t been identified before. Zangenite....

University of Portsmouth physicist Melvin Vopson proposes a new way to think about gravity — not just as a pull, but as something that happens when...

High-energy photons produced deep in gamma-ray burst jets emerging from a collapsed star could dissolve the outer stellar layers into free neutrons, causing...

In general relativity, a gravitational white hole is a hypothetical region of space that cannot be entered from outside. It is the reverse of a black hole...

The structure of optical rotatum follows a logarithmic spiral — a signature that is commonly seen in the pattern formation of seashells and galaxies,...

Physicists at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology say they have observed a new form of quantum entanglement in the total angular momentum...

Physicists with the KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment report the most precise measurement of the upper mass limit of the neutrino to date,...

Using Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s 88-Inch Cyclotron, an international team of physicists has successfully made two atoms of livermorium (atomic...

The quantum superposition principle allows us to prepare a system in a superposition of two arbitrary states. The paradigmatic example is the superposition...

The newly-discovered shape-recovering liquids defy long-held expectations derived from the laws of thermodynamics, according to a team of physicists at...

The Lambda-CDM (ΛCDM) model has been the foundation of modern cosmology for some time now, successfully describing large-scale structures in the Universe....

New results from the DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument) Collaboration have revealed signs of a time-varying dark energy. Two ‘fans’ corresponding...

Black holes may transition into white holes, ejecting matter and even time back into the Universe, according to a new study by physicists from the University...

How lightning is started in thunderstorms is poorly known. With a newly-developed 3D mapping and polarization system, physicists at Los Alamos National...

Physicists have long known that electrons can form vortices in quantum materials. What’s new is the proof that these tiny particles create tornado-like...

Ultrahigh energy cosmic rays are the highest-energy particles in the Universe, whose energies are more than a million times what can be achieved by humans. Professor...

Physicists with the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have announced the first observation of VVZ production — a rare combination...

University of Adelaide’s Dr. Ross Young and colleagues from the QCDSF Collaboration are exploring the structure of subatomic matter to try and provide...
