Physicists spot elusive 'free-range' atoms ineracting in space for first time ever
Physicists have used a novel technique to observe individual atoms interacting in free space for the first time ever. The new technique confirms a century-old quantum mechanical theory.
Mathematicians devise new way to solve devilishly difficult algebra equations
Mathematicians have devised a new way to solve higher-order polynomial equations, ushering in a 'dramatic revision of a basic chapter in algebra'.
Mathematicians just solved a 125-year-old problem, uniting 3 theories in physics
A breakthrough in Hilbert's sixth problem is a major step in grounding physics in math
Ghostly galaxy without dark matter baffles astronomers
Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears to be devoid of dark matter, the elusive stuff that makes up most of the material universe.
'Beauty' particle discovered at world's largest atom smasher could unlock new physics
Why matter dominates over antimatter in our universe has long been a major cosmic mystery to physicists. A new finding by the world's largest particle collider has revealed a clue.
Student accidentally creates 'shape-recovering liquid' that's an exception to the laws of thermodynamics
A graduate student accidentally created a blend of oil, water and nickel particles that formed an unexpected shape.
Elusive neutrinos' mass just got halved — and it could mean physicists are close to solving a major cosmic mystery
Physicists have set a new upper limit on the mass of neutrinos. And the finding could poke a big hole in the Standard Model of particle physics.
Mysterious Antikythera Mechanism may have been an ancient Greek toy, new study hints
The mysterious Antikythera Mechanism is 2,000 years old and has long puzzled scientists. New research into its triangle-shaped teeth may finally reveal its intended purpose.
The world's largest atom smasher is getting a powerful new upgrade
Physicists are finalizing plans for MATHUSLA, a powerful new addition to CERN's Large Hadron Collider that will detect long-lived particles and potentially open the door to new physics.
Physicists create hottest Schrödinger's cat ever in quantum breakthrough
Physicists have replicated the famous Schrödinger's cat experiment at hotter temperatures than ever before. The breakthrough is a small but significant step toward quantum computers that can work at normal temperatures.
