Buried deep below the American Midwest, a new kind of observatory is taking shape that aims to watch some of the most elusive particles in the universe as they stream straight through Earth. The Deep ...

The headline practically writes itself. A 78-year-old man, whose friend told law enforcement had been working at the Los Alamos National Laboratory on quantum physics experiments related to the ...

The ALICE Collaboration is a winner of the 2025 Gizmodo Science Fair for transforming lead into gold for a fraction of a second and exposing the strange physics that goes on inside the Large Hadron ...

Physics experiments have changed the world irrevocably, altering our reality and enabling us to take gigantic leaps in technology. From ancient times to now, here's a look at some of the greatest ...

The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully completed the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) and released its first physics results.

A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...

A DIY science project exploring how beta backscattering can be used to identify different elements. The experiment demonstrates key physics principles in a simple and practical way. #science #physics ...

Neutrinos are some of nature’s most elusive particles. One hundred trillion fly through your body every second, but each one has only a tiny chance of jostling one of your atoms, a consequence of the ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

There are precision measurements, and then there’s the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. In each of LIGO’s twin gravitational wave detectors (one in Hanford, Washington, and the ...
