Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

“Geoneutrinos are a type of antineutrino produced by radioactive decays happening inside the Earth. By measuring geoneutrinos ...

Alan Herbert, Founder and President of InsideOutBio, discusses the evolution of biological concepts related to DNA and protein structures ...

A physicist claims the universe’s deepest secrets can be uncovered now, through ultra-rare particle decays, without waiting decades for a new collider.

A dense network of sensors is looking for the fleeting footprints of neutrinos, the most mysterious in the pantheon of known particles.

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that collapsed after supernova explosions and are made up mostly of subatomic particles with no electric charge (i.e., neutrons). When two ...

Vagins is an experimental physicist, but his work relies on a vast complex machine underpinned by an orchestra of subsystems – mechanical, electronic, computational and human – each playing precisely ...

A novel method to manipulate the inner structure of cells connects several scientific fields and could represent a ...

The CDF Collaboration at Fermilab has confirmed that a subatomic particle called the Bs meson flips between matter and ...

From “research isn’t for me” to designing gamma-ray detectors and studying in Japan—Lincoln Potts turned one small yes into a ...

The total energy of the ball consists of its potential energy (related to position) plus its kinetic energy (related to motion). To zero out both components, you would have to give a precise value to ...
