The question of why things fall has puzzled our species since we crawled out from the darkness of our primitive ignorance. Aristotle was the first to offer a serious theory. He proposed that each of the four elements (earth, air, fire, water) had a natural place to which it innately wanted to return. Fire and

Researchers have demonstrated a mirror-based neutron interferometer that should be more sensitive to beyond-standard-model particle interactions than previous instruments.

Rare kaon decay measurements at CERN are listed as an essential scientific activity in the 2020 Update of the European strategy for particle physics.

The scientific community is full of excitement over the potential discovery of a fifth fundamental force of nature, as it investigates an unexpected phenomenon in subatomic particles.

A breakthrough study by the University of Washington has shown that graphite, a 3D material, can be manipulated to possess properties of its 2D counterpart, graphene. This paves the way for the potential modification of other bulk materials to exhibit 2D-like properties, potentially expanding the fr

Robert Oppenheimer once had an aura rivalled only by that of Albert Einstein. However, he could not go out on a high. Here's a brief account of a life so dramatic it could have played itself out on the silver screen.

This year's Nobel prize in physics was all about quantum entanglement. So what does that mean? And what doesn't it?

Scientists uncover intriguing evidence of low-frequency gravitational waves, shedding light on cosmic mysteries.
