It wasn’t the first picture of a black hole this collaboration had captured—that was the iconic image of M87*, which they revealed in April 2019. But it was the one they wanted most.

In 1935, in a Europe on the brink of war, Erwin Schrodinger trapped an imaginary cat inside a quantum puzzle -- and in doing so, forced the world to question what "real" even means. Here's more about ...

From the discovery of gravity to the first mission to defend Earth from an asteroid, here are the most important physics ...

Even large objects with several hundred million atoms can exhibit quantum mechanical behaviour – without cooling and at room ...

The first chemical reactions in the wake of the Big Bang have been recreated for the first time in conditions similar to ...

The appearance of black hole M87* changes from one image to the next, taken a year apart. EHT published the April 11, 2017 observation two years later in 2019. EHT published the 2018 observation ...

A team of scientists recently conducted an exciting quantum physics experiment allowing them to demonstrate that reality might actually be real. Well, don’t everybody applaud all at once. It’s ...

To the limits of their experiment, they saw a perfectly round sphere, implying that certain types of new particles, if they exist at all, have properties different from those theorists expected.

Intriguingly, though, measurements of similar processes involving “top quarks” from the ATLAS experiment at the LHC show this decay does happen at equal rates for electrons and muons. Meanwhile, the ...

Long ago, scientists had the shaft drilled for a particle physics experiment that’s long vanished from this world. Now, in a few short years, they will reuse the shaft for a new project with the ...
