“Positronium is the simplest atom composed of equal-mass constituents, and until it self-annihilates, it behaves as a neutral ...

Albert Einstein's 100-year-old theory about gravitational waves has been proved correct. And now the breakthrough has been recognised with the 2017 Nobel Prize for Physics. Scientists working with the ...

Eight days ago, it rained over the western Pacific Ocean near Japan. There was nothing especially remarkable about this rain event, yet it made big waves twice. First, it disturbed the atmosphere in ...

Last year scientists detected gravitational waves from what appeared to be the most massive black hole collision ever recorded. But now an international team of astrophysicists has proposed an exotic ...

Professor Takaaki Kajita, recipient of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics, delivered a public lecture on gravitational waves at ...

Scientists have detected a strange new type of high-frequency wave on the sun's surface, and the waves are moving three times faster than scientists thought was possible. Scientists can't see into the ...

Until recently, scientists had never detected black holes in the “mass gap”—now, particle physicists are exploring ideas beyond the Standard Model that could explain them. On May 21, 2019, a ripple in ...

Strange pulses that don't seem to abide by the laws of particle physics have been detected in Antarctica. These radio waves, emanating from below the ice, could be evidence of dark matter and have ...
