For more than 40 years, physicist John Conway has led research in high-energy particle physics, a field driven by a simple ...

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...

This experiment uses a warm liquid on ice to explore how heat actually moves and dissipates. Instead of melting evenly, the ice reacts in unexpected patterns that reveal strange thermal behavior. It’s ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, scientists have filmed atoms performing an eternal quantum dance that never ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

From a particle smasher encircling the moon to an “impossible” laser, five scientists reveal the experiments they would run ...

The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully completed the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) and released its first physics results.

You don’t need a lab to explore the wonders of science - just a little curiosity and a few things from around the house. These five easy experiments bring chemistry, physics, and biology to life in ...

Rob Morris does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

The ALICE Collaboration is a winner of the 2025 Gizmodo Science Fair for transforming lead into gold for a fraction of a second and exposing the strange physics that goes on inside the Large Hadron ...
