Solar radio bursts are closely tied to how their sources move through the sun’s outer atmosphere and the…
Decades-long physics mystery may have been an illusion all along
A long-suspected crack in particle physics was a calculation problem, not a broken law of nature, according to…
Oxford scientists create rare quantum effect 100 times faster than expected
For the first time in quantum physics, Oxford researchers have demonstrated quadsqueezing, a complex fourth-order quantum interaction. The…
A Nearly Invisible Energy From Dark Matter Could Explain How the First Black Holes Formed So Fast
A new study suggests that decaying dark matter may have helped create the universe’s first supermassive black holes…

Scientists discovered an Einstein cross hiding stars older than the galaxy itself that shouldn’t exist
Astronomers detected four almost perfect points of light in a cross shape that really should not exist. At…
CERN has detected a particle similar to a proton, but about four times heavier, and so rare that detecting it has been much more complicated than it seems
What if you could take a proton, keep its basic three-part structure, and then swap in heavier building…
This laser turns metal into a star-like plasma in trillionths of a second
When intense laser flashes strike matter, they can knock electrons out of their positions around atomic nuclei. This…
