Scientists have been using complicated, hypothetical particles to explain the Big Bang, but this theory posits that a simpler ...

Scientists may be coming closer to confirming the existence of dark matter - the invisible stuff thought to make up more than ...

A glittering hunk of crystal gets its iridescence from a highly regular atomic structure. Frank Wilczek, the 2012 Nobel ...

Fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The theory combines the ideas of particles and waves into a concentration of energy that flows throughout space and time.

A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic ...

Pulsars suggest that ultra–low-frequency gravitational waves are rippling through the cosmos. The signal seen by international pulsar timing array collaborations in 2023 could come from a stochastic ...

Researchers analyzing pulsar data have found tantalizing hints of ultra-slow gravitational waves. A team from Hirosaki University suggests these signals might carry “beats” — patterns formed by ...

Electromagnetic radiation, in all its forms, permeates every corner of the Universe, acting as the great messenger of cosmic phenomena. If we could perceive the sky in radio waves, our view would be ...

The rapid heating of the tissue releases sound waves. These can be measured with photoacoustic imaging techniques, which, in turn, can be used to create 3D models of the inside of the body. The team ...
