The LUX-ZEPLIN detector is now operational and ready to capture weakly interacting particles believed to be the constituents of dark matter.
From wood chuck holes to worm holes — A look into the notebooks of John Wheeler
Glimpse into the notebooks of physicist John Wheeler, which capture his eclectic, crazy, and yet never one-dimensional ideas.
Tetraneutron finally found
Physicists have reported the observation of a tetraneutron, a subatomic particle consisting of just four neutrons.
A new elementary particle may have just been discovered
An elusive new elementary particle called the sterile neutrino may have just been spotted by physicists.
Mapping the gas web of the Tarantula Nebula
New images of the Tarantula Nebula help us understand how intense star formation at its center impacts the rest of the nebula.
Does dark matter really exist?
Tweaking the rules of gravity via Modified Newtonian dynamics provides a possible alternative explanation for the behavior of galaxies
Our universe might have two layers
Using bilayered graphene, physicists explore the possibility that our reality is only one half of a pair of interacting worlds.
Water scarcity has a solution: Wastewater
Water scarcity is not some far off consequence of the climate crisis. To overcome it, overriding our obsession with freshwater and embracing wastewater will be necessary.
Largest known comet from Oort Cloud captured by Hubble
Astronomers capture images of a four billion-year-old relic that fell from the theorized Oort Cloud that encircles our Solar System.
Decarbonizing the chemical industry with sustainable photons
Decarbonizing the chemical industry is possible, provided decreases in the cost of solar energy and increases in LED efficiency continue.
