The Department of Energy (DOE) has released specifications for 26 artificial intelligence (AI) challenges under its Genesis Mission that could reshape how ...

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set ...

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.

A novel method to manipulate the inner structure of cells connects several scientific fields and could represent a significant step in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's ...

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties and—perhaps oddest of all—particles that spontaneously spring into being from the ...

Neutrinos have been with us since the beginning. They existed alongside prehistoric humans, dinosaurs and the first scattered crumbs of life on Earth. The birth of the solar system, the formation of ...

Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and the University of Oklahoma have pinpointed a one-dimensional system where such particles can exist and have examined their ...

There's no denying that something massive lurks at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, but a new study asks whether a ...

A window into how visible matter emerges from the "nothing" of vacuum has been opened by physicists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New York. The ...

After years of work building an exquisitely sensitive instrument, University of Chicago scientists stood and watched as it flew up and out of sight into the fiercely blue Antarctic sky. Launched on ...

Quasicrystals are orderly structures that never repeat. Scientists just showed they can exist in space and time.

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...
