New calculations seem to have put a 25-year-old particle physics puzzle to rest. But they’ve also created a clash with other experimental results.

Particles of light cannot be divided into smaller particles, but if you try to snip off the end of one, instead of shortening it multiplies

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and forces of the universe.…

Researchers in Chile shed more light on the little-understood phenomenon of static electricity

Scientists studying mysterious ultra-powerful cosmic rays have uncovered a surprising hidden pattern that could finally help explain where these particles come from.…

For nearly 100 years, reinforced rubber has powered everything from car tires to airplanes, yet scientists never fully understood why adding tiny particles of carbon black made rubber so incredibly strong.…

"The origins and acceleration mechanisms of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays have been among the biggest mysteries in the field for more than 60 years."

There’s a more accurate way of measuring who’s at risk for cholesterol-related health issues. So why don’t more doctors use it?

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to belong to one of two categories — bosons or fermions — but researchers have now shown that bizarre “in-between” particles called…

From Nypost RSS Feed: Bryan Johnson boasts about health achievement for his balls: ‘This should not be possible’

Imagine being tasked with counting every blade of grass in a field, noting every single species as you go. This is not far from the challenge many scientists face when analyzing microscopic samples packed with thousands of tiny particles.

There's a lot of room in interplanetary, interstellar, and intergalactic space, but just how low the densities go is truly mind-boggling.

From Space.com: Where does Earth's mysterious 'ring current' come from? NASA and the US Space Force are launching a mission to find out

Cruise ships, with hundreds, even thousands of people in close quarters, can also be a hotbed of germs

There's more bad news about microplastics. We already know they pose a risk to health and can pollute ecosystems, but now researchers have discovered that tiny plastic particles drifting in Earth's atmosphere could be a significant contributor to global…

A new Nature Climate Change study suggests airborne microplastics -- especially darker and colored particles -- are likely contributing to atmospheric warming by absorbing more heat than they reflect.…

NASA is preparing to launch a mission designed to provide a unique, inside-out view of the ring current. Called STORIE (Storm Time O+ Ring current

A new study answers the suspicions of many air purifier owners: is this thing actually doing anything?

‘Penguin’ decays from CERN’s latest Large Hadron Collider experiment hint at weird new physics. ‘Penguin’ decays from CERN’s latest Large Hadron Collider experiment hint at weird new physics.

A century after their discovery, cosmic rays—particles of extreme energy originating from the far reaches of the universe—remain a mystery to scientists.…
