From mysterious dark matter to the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei, the past 12 months have reiterated just how strange particle physics can be. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

A team of Italian researchers has uncovered compelling evidence of anomalous radioactive decay in cobalt-57 (Co-57) under ultrasonic stimulation, offering strong experimental support for the Deformed ...

At any given moment, trillions of particles called neutrinos are streaming through our bodies and every material in our surroundings, without noticeable effect. Smaller than electrons and lighter than ...

The 2025 Nobel prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists for the discovery of an effect that has applications in ...

But perhaps this was because the academy’s announcement had committed the journalist’s faux pas of burying the lead: the science led to the invention of a crucial part of the technology for making ...

Students and faculty of UC Santa Barbara’s physics department gathered in Corwin Pavilion for the department’s annual Nobel Prize-focused colloquium on Oct. 14. This year’s event was particularly spec ...

Alpha decay represents a fundamental mode of radioactive disintegration wherein an unstable nucleus emits an alpha particle—a tightly bound cluster of two protons and two neutrons. This process not ...

Quantum Computing Nobel Prize honors John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis for their pioneering work in macroscopic ...

A battery made of diamonds could power devices for thousands of years, scientists have announced. This battery would be powered by a diamond surrounding a radioactive isotope of carbon known as carbon ...
