Scientists have proposed a novel method of potentially detecting dark matter: by using a 3D-printed vacuum system to “trap” it with ultra-cold lithium atoms.
The restricted three-body problem involves a stable orbit of two large bodies accompanied by a small third body. Here's how it also relates to human interactions.
What are tidal disruption events? Try imagining the sun moving close to the speed of light and colliding with another sun as they move around a black hole.
Physicists are one step closer to the measurement of gravity at the quantum level, findings that may broaden our understanding of some of the most mysterious forces at work in our universe.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded $10 million to the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) at the University of Rochester as part of an initiative to stimulate research into inertial fusion energy (IFE).
An international collaboration has successfully demonstrated a compact particle accelerator capable of generating a 10 billion electron volt (10GeV) beam.
Neutrinos are electrically neutral particles that interact only through the weak interaction and gravity. If our eyes were sensitive to neutrinos, what would we see?
Researchers may now be closer to understanding the secret interactions that occur between neutrinos when stars explode, according to new research into the behavior of the mysterious subatomic particles.
A team of researchers says they have developed a new technique that allows them to cool a small membrane to temperatures nearing absolute zero with nothing more than light from lasers.
An international team of researchers says they have discovered a new variety of quantum vortexes within superconductors, pointing to a previously unknown circulatory phenomenon.
Here are five ways detection of the gravitational wave background (GWB) by the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) revolutionizes our understanding of the universe.
Scientists with the Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory say they have produced a new method that allows them to introduce hard physics constraints to the structure of neural networks.
An algorithm that allows more precise forecasts of the positions and velocities of a beam’s distribution of particles as it passes through an accelerator has been developed by researchers with the Department of Energy (DOE) and the University of Chicago.
According to a group of physicists, witness descriptions of the famous 2006 Chicago O’Hare UAP incident are suggestive of a form of advanced propulsion that may one day revolutionize space travel.
Physicists say they have reconciled the third law of thermodynamics with quantum physics, in new research that proves absolute zero is theoretically possible.
A team of physicists says they have observed the most significant isospin mixing recorded to date during beta-decay experiments, a finding that could upset our current accepted understanding of the nuclear force.
A group of theoretical physicists says that a superluminal world possessing three time dimensions and one space dimension could change our concept of time.
New insights into the phenomenon of contact electricity have been revealed by a research team with the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology.
An international team of physicists says it has discovered a new way to measure time, in a research effort that led to the creation of a kind of “quantum watch.”
Composed entirely of strange “quark matter,” astronomers believe they may have discovered a long-rumored space object possessing unusual stellar qualities.
