Sitting in the cafeteria in CERN particle physics laboratory, Jeremiah Mans was just thinking about how smoothly everything leading up to the first scheduled run of the Large Hadron Collider had gone ...

You can't have gold until a nucleus decays. The specifics of that process have been hard to pin down, but UT's nuclear ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics. John Clarke, ...

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultra-sensitive measurements achieved by ...

For bringing quantum effects to a scale once thought impossible, three physicists have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics. In the 1980s, John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis demonstrated the ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis demonstrated quantum tunneling in an electrical circuit, with implications for the next generation of quantum technology.

Starfront Observatories allows amateur astronomers to rent a spot for their telescopes and photograph the cosmos over a high-speed data connection. By Kenneth Chang 3I/ATLAS, only the third object ...

The writer Tristan Gooley describes how a pair of familiar constellations can help a person navigate in darkness when other methods fail. By Joshua Sokol The comets A6 (Lemmon) and R2 (SWAN) are ...

Dark matter makes up over 25% of the universe’s mass, holds galaxies together, and is essential to our understanding of cosmic structure. It doesn’t interact with light or other electromagnetic ...

Deep in the core of most galaxies, hidden by spinning clouds of gas and dust, black holes spin like cosmic engines. These giants — some are billions of times heavier than our sun — can shoot out ...
