Clouds play an important role in regulating the climate. Bright ones at low altitudes generally reflect solar energy away, ...

Nearly a decade ago, a detector searching for ghostly cosmic particles found two anomalous signals in Antarctic ice. But ...

For over a decade, researchers have considered boson sampling—a quantum computing protocol involving light particles—as a key ...

In a twist on conventional wisdom, researchers have discovered that in ocean-like fluids with changing density, tiny porous particles can sink faster than larger ones, thanks to how they absorb salt.

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has detected a "high-energy neutrino emission from within the Milky Way," according to AAAS.

Astronomers have discovered the most distant mini-halo ever seen—10 billion light-years away—revealing that galaxy clusters ...

An SwRI-led study identified particles accelerated to extremely high energies by magnetic reconnection near the Sun. As NASA's Parker Solar Probe (trajectory shown in green) crossed the ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Results from a new animal study suggest that microscopic plastic particles found in food and beverages may affect glucose metabolism and harm organs such as the liver. The findings raise concerns ...

Physicists tested the Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) paradox, which is at the heart of quantum theory, to measure light ...
