The strong force holds protons and neutrons together, but the theory behind it is largely inscrutable. Two new approaches show how it works.

An international research team that includes scientists from around the world, including MIT, has established a new upper limit on the mass of the neutrino –below 0.8 eV/c2-- a milestone that will bear on future discoveries in nuclear and particle physics, and cosmology

“You are all wave particles when I close my eyes. I am no more entranced by your entanglement than a butterfly is to a bee.” -Solange nicole This past week at Starts With A Bang saw a flurry of activity, including a wonderful variety of new stories, like:

New research has shown that future gravitational wave detections from space will be capable of finding new fundamental fields and potentially shed new light on unexplained aspects of the Universe.Professor Thomas Sotiriou from the University of Notti

Electromagnetic (EM) waves and gravitational waves are the only available means to study the Universe on a large scale. For millennia, only the former could be used, in naked-eye astronomical observations by the ancients based on the reception of visible light, or present-day super telescopes operating in various bands of the EM spectrum, from radio waves to gamma rays.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) nuclear physics program is pursuing an international strategy to fund three tonne-scale experiments–CUPID, nEXO and LEGEND-1000–that are sensitive enough to search for evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay (

A few years ago, a novel measurement technique showed that protons are probably smaller than had been assumed since the 1990s. This surprised the scientific community; some researchers even believ ...

An international group of physicists from the University of California at San Diego and Extreme Light Infrastructure-Nuclear Physics facility in Romania devised an experiment that uses a tightly focused high-power laser with a peak power density of 5×1022 W/cm2 to generate a magnetic field as strong as that of a neutron star (100 million times stronger than Earth's magnetic field).

Get latest articles and stories on Science at LatestLY. The Standard Model of Cosmology has described how the universe came into being according to the view of most physicists. Now, researchers at the University of Bonn studied the evolution of galaxies within this model and found considerable discrepancies with actual observations.
