I got my start in this industry back when smartphones were still finding their bearings. Each new version of Android ushered in a major visual rede ...

In a paper published in Physical Review C, the ALICE collaboration reports measurements that quantify the transmutation of lead into gold in CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Using state-of-the-art intravital imaging at Garvan, the team discovered that, in mouse models, the memory B cells migrate to the outer layer of the local lymph node, where they interact closely ...

When I entered the dark matter hunt in 2005, physicists were focused on searching for dark matter whispers from the weak force. Despite its name, the weak force is much stronger than gravity, and ...

Ranch dressing is actually a fifth state of matter known as soft matter. Soft matter can have properties of both liquids and solids, so materials scientists say it is viscoelastic – a ...

Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed. After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of… ...

At the heart of this challenge lies the need to tame plasma, a superheated state of matter hotter than the Sun’s core, and to build reactors capable of withstanding its fury.

The collisions that occur at the LHC generate a state of matter called "quark-gluon plasma."This dense sea of plasma is the same as the "primordial soup" of matter that filled the universe around ...

O nly recently have scientists realized that most of the universe is neither gaseous, liquid or solid. It is plasma, a lively, tricky, often dangerous state of matter whose distinctive ...
