A doctoral student recreated a tiny piece of the universe in a bottle to investigate the chemistry that led to life on Earth.

Neutrino particles have extremely small masses, yet there are so many of them that they carve out the large-scale structure ...

Can a single particle have a temperature? It may seem impossible with our standard understanding of temperature, but ...

They slip through your skin, your walls, and the whole Earth without leaving a mark. Neutrinos earn the nickname “ghost ...

Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, scientists have found that the quark-gluon ...

In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles ...

Solar storms are eruptions that release some of the energy stored in the sun's strong magnetic field. These can create intense, localized explosions called solar flares, or much more powerful and ...

A new estimate suggests land sources eject 600 quadrillion pieces of microplastic into the atmosphere every year ...

Scientists recreate the early universe to study the first liquid ever formed and uncover how quarks moved through primordial matter.

Even though the intense gravitational fields of black holes should cause them to evaporate faster, they put off total ...

The new research verifies Rajagopal’s account of the QGP, using a neutral, electrically weak particle called the Z boson as a marker to track the movement of quarks in the plasma. Since the Z boson ...

How many electrons are there in the Universe? One bold theory suggests that there could only be one, although this theory has ...
