How is matter different from mass? These and other questions about the deepest levels of physics, answered inside.

Often dismissed as the poor cousin of the sciences, chemistry has revealed natural laws that illuminate our Universe ...

Scientists suggest paraparticles, a quasiparticle class, potentially redefining physics by challenging the fermion and boson ...

A new analysis of data from the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) reveals fresh evidence that ...

After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.

When you multiply by 1 the answer stays the same. 21 × 1 = 21 When you multiply by 10, move all the digits one place to the left, putting a zero in the empty space. 21 × 10 = 210 When you ...

How does your brain know when you feel pain? How does it know the difference between the soft touch of a feather and a needle prick? And, how does that information get to your body in time to respond?

They keep on passing through your tissues and eventually exit the body. That’s why they can often damage healthy cells along with the cancer cells. Protons are positively charged particles found in ...

Theoretical study predicts the existence of particles that are neither bosons nor fermions — and hints at applications in quantum computing.
