Scientists have found the oldest direct evidence for tectonic motion on Earth by more than half a billion years ...

Should the universe “choose” braneworld, it could mean that your senses (which perceive fewer dimensions) are keeping you from experiencing the full number of dimensions surrounding you. This could ...

Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime produced by violent cosmic events, such as the merging of black holes. So far, ...

Six thousand eight hundred feet below the floor of an active nickel mine in northern Ontario, something has gone extremely cold. Not cold in the way of a walk-in freezer, or a liquid nitrogen tank, or ...

A new subatomic particle known as the Ξcc⁺ has been discovered at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. This heavy proton-like particle contains two charm quarks and was detected using the upgraded LHCb ...

When you fold a flexible material such as a pancake or a tortilla, its behaviour depends on a competition between gravity and ...

Come one, come all. See an electron gun demonstration, watch what happens when atmospheric pressure drops in a vacuum chamber and explore the solar system. These are just a few of the demonstrations ...

Learn about the particles showering down on Earth and how scientists find them at annual Arthur H. Compton Lecture series ...

There’s a shocking lack of understanding of the physics underlying this commonplace phenomenon, but researchers are on the ...

The familiar phenomenon has puzzled researchers for centuries, but experiments are finally making sense of its unruly behaviours.

How does fine dust aggregate into building blocks that ultimately form entire planets like our Earth? A research team led by ...

As binary neutron stars spiral around each other to merge, their gravitational tidal forces distort each other's shape and structure, potentially revealing clues as to what lies within them.
