Why does the universe exist?
The universe exists because matter and antimatter are not good friends.
Scientists watch a single electron move during a chemical reaction for first time ever
For the first time, scientists visualized how electrons behave during a chemical reaction, which could help reduce unwanted byproducts in future chemistry.
Why can't we walk through walls if atoms are mostly empty space?
Most of an atom is empty space, so why does some matter feel solid? Two physics principles explain why.
Meet the 'neglectons': Previously overlooked particles that could revolutionize quantum computing
When mathematicians revived ignored mathematical structures, they found that overlooked particles, called "neglectons," could complete the quantum computing puzzle.
Lightning on Earth is sparked by a powerful chain reaction from outer space, simulations show
A new model may have finally solved where storm clouds get their missing energy.
'Paraparticles' would be a third kingdom of quantum particle
A new proposal makes the case that paraparticles — a new category of quantum particle — could be created in exotic materials.
Where do atoms come from? A physicist explains.
Almost everything on Earth is made up of atoms, but where do these fundamental building blocks come from?
'Dreadful danger for all mankind': Einstein's powerful anti-war letter goes up for auction
A fiery letter written by Albert Einstein in 1954 is going to auction. The letter details Einstein's thoughts on his part in developing atomic weapons, and hails Mahatma Gandhi as a political genius.
