Researchers have found evidence of a peculiar particle that, ironically, is also its own antiparticle. It was first proposed 80 years ago, but it now seems like it might actually be true. …
The study of how individual stars are born and die in galaxies, how new stars are born from remnants of old stars, and how galaxies themselves grow are important themes in astronomy, as the…
Physicists have applied classical mechanics rules to light – with success. Light can behave both as a wave and a particle, a head-scratcher that confused scientists for centuries before t…
Researchers have started an intriguing thought experiment that questions how we perceive the Earth. Could our planet be something other than a living thing? Could it have a mind of i…
Sometimes new evidence just makes a problem more confusing. NGC 5584 is one of the galaxies the JWST examined to calibrate some of the Hubble telescope's most crucial measurements. …
Traditionally ignored phenomenon reveals potential for breakthroughs in biotechnology. Scientists have long believed that nuclear spin had no impact on biological processes. However, a…
The team caught a glimpse of a process that takes 18,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years. Scientists have observed an extremely rare particle physics event using a detector that’s hunting…
