Something odd is happening deep inside the data streams from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. A set of “forbidden” patterns in ...

Recent observations suggest that 'runaway' black holes are tumbling through the cosmos. Building on decades of theory, the discovery adds a remarkable new chapter to the story of the universe.

Dark matter keeps getting blamed for the universe’s big patterns while staying stubbornly out of reach. You cannot see it, touch it, or capture it.

Keeping high-power particle accelerators at peak performance requires advanced and precise control systems. For example, the primary research machine at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas ...

The material exhibits an exceptionally low lattice thermal conductivity of ~0.18 W/m·K, placing it among the lowest known for crystalline solids.

Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.

The head of the initiative emphasized the importance of data scaling and adding computational power in remarks at Brookhaven ...

The changes announced by a major UK science funder are putting scientists — and the future of research — in a difficult position.

Atmospheric aerosols influence climate forcing, air quality, visibility, and human health, but their properties vary widely across space and time. Satellite instruments equipped with multi-angle and ...

Professor Chad Mirkin found that the vaccine’s carefully organized structure dramatically boosts cancer-fighting immunity.

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.
