Physicists at ETH Zurich in Switzerland have a novel plan to uncover an unknown fifth force of nature long theorized to exist ...

To get into quantum physics colleges, you usually need a strong background in science, math, and computer skills. When ...

The question of where atoms come from requires a lot of physics to be answered completely – and even then, physicists only have good guesses to explain how some atoms are formed.

Knowable Magazine reports on attosecond science, revealing how scientists study atomic interactions at unbelievable speeds to ...

An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person. That is not so for electrons, atoms and ...

Cosmic radiation occasionally contains enormous amounts of energy, but we don’t know why or where this radiation comes from.

Many heavy atoms form from a supernova explosion, the remnants of which are shown in this image. NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage ...

Quantum clocks break energy limits, unlocking ultra-precise timekeeping with far-reaching tech, AI, and navigation impacts.

This paper reports on NIEL calculation methods. A specific software NEMO (NIEL evaluation model of ONERA) dedicated to NIEL calculation have been used for this ...

Scientists are using trapped ions in cutting-edge experiments to hunt for signs of an undiscovered particle that might help ...

By the middle of the twentieth century we’d understood how chemical elements were made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.
