Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) are stellar explosions that occur in stars with initial masses around 8–10 times that of ...

It shouldn’t be. Comet tails, propelled by the solar wind and radiation pressure from the Sun, nearly always travel away from the Sun. But interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, hurtling through the Solar ...

For the past half century or so, a theory known by the understated name of the Standard Model has dominated the field of particle physics. This theory provides us with a detailed description of the 17 ...

After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...

The Standard Model is our best theory for how the universe operates, but there are some missing pieces that physicists are struggling to find. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

Impressively, the world's hottest engine could alter our understanding of thermodynamics as well as human diseases.

We’ve created a new way to explore the fundamental constituents of the universe. [Editor’s note: The full, interactive map is available below.] All of nature springs from a handful of components — the ...

Hotter than the sun, the single particle engine probes the frontiers of thermodynamics and complex computing. Scientists have ...

A precise electric field technique prints single quantum dots one at a time, enabling scalable arrays of quantum light ...

Underwater sound fields can be complex, both in open water and small tank environments. Here we measured 1) spatial variation in artificially elevated sound levels in a small fish tank for both ...
