Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

For centuries, the principle of symmetry has guided physicists towards more fundamental truths, but now a slew of shocking findings suggest a far stranger idea from quantum theory could be a deeper dr ...

Scientists at Fermilab’s MicroBooNE experiment have ruled out the existence of the elusive sterile neutrino, a particle proposed for decades to explain puzzling neutrino behavior. Their high-precision ...

Experiments at China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak have confirmed the existence of "a density-free region" ...

Sophie Germain was a brilliant, self-taught mathematician who won one of France's most prestigious prizes, yet she declined ...

At the heart of our sun, fusion is unfolding. As hydrogen atoms merge to form helium, they emit energy, producing the heat ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

Libby Rosemeier, a former George Stevens Academy student in the Twinkie experiment class, and Roger Bennatti, the now-retired ...

In one of the rockiest years yet for science, Philadelphia-area researchers still managed to celebrate many wins. Here are five of them.

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - As kids get ready for winter break, there are many ways to keep them learning at home. One option: science experiments! Covey Denton has some ideas to bring the science lab ...

In physics, breakthroughs are rare. Experiments are slow, expensive and often end up refining, rather than rewriting, our understanding of the universe. But what if the only constraint on scientific ...

"Precision in these measurements is critical, as even subtle discrepancies could signal deviations from the model — potentially revealing new physics." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
