The Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE) mission aims to map auroral electrojets, improving scientific models of space ...

An invisible force has long eluded detection within the halls of the world’s most famous particle accelerator—until now.

In a groundbreaking study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists from ETH Zurich, in collaboration with teams from ...

Scientists are using trapped ions in cutting-edge experiments to hunt for signs of an undiscovered particle that might help unravel the mystery of dark matter. The Standard Model of particle physics o ...

Two studies fill in gaps about the cosmos’s ordinary matter. One maps it all, even the “missing matter.” The other details one of its hiding spots.

There are fundamentally two ways to generate electricity. The first is based on electromagnetic induction, which remains the ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

It is possible to make a material emit more radiation than it absorbs, violating the laws of physics in a way that could make energy-harvesting devices more efficient ...

Since their discovery by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895, X-rays have become a staple of modern medical care, from imaging teeth and ...

"The concern is, do we have enough resources to make all these lithium-ion batteries for every application? That's part of the drive for the US government is to be thinking long term about other ...

Sedna will make its closest approach to the Sun in 2076, giving us a rare opportunity to visit the planetoid before it drifts ...
