A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness ...

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set ...

And close to home, too. The post Physicists Think They Saw a Black Hole Explode appeared first on Futurism.

The era of smashing two watermelons together at Brookhaven National Laboratory has ended. After 25 years of accelerating streams of ions into each other at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), ...

Researchers have identified rare proton emissions that reveal how the neck of a nucleus stretches and snaps, providing a new ...

Scientists have found “strange quarks” that originated as virtual particles that sprang from nothing Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, ...

Iridium oxide is one of the most important—and most problematic—materials in the global push toward clean energy. It is ...
