The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, ...

Using muon spin rotation spectroscopy, researchers from Japan and Canada have successfully captured the rapid conversion of ...

The Standard Model of our universe doesn’t match the evidence, in part because of dark energy, a ghostly force pushing the ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

So many phenomena, we experience in everyday life are such that they have no material existence. Gravity is one such phenomenon, which is a well-defined, mathematically formulated phenomenon, but ...

The Linac Coherent Light Source in California has been firing record-breaking X-ray pulses for years, but now it’s due for a ...

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

Since Einstein, physicists have found that certain entities can reach superluminal (that means "faster-than-light") speeds and still follow the cosmic rules laid down by special relativity.
