Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The ...

Physicists have achieved a long-sought goal in demonstrating quantum entanglement using the momentum of atoms, rather than their internal states. Since atoms’ momentum can be affected by gravity, this ...

Physicists have detected “ghost particles” in the Large Hadron Collider for the first time. An experiment called FASER picked up signals of neutrinos being produced in particle collisions, which can ...

An experiment designed to hunt for ever elusive dark matter has returned some strange and exciting signals. The anomalies are probably not dark matter itself, but could be an indication that we’re on ...

Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though quantum physics says their exact position is fundamentally uncertain. Now, ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

Physicists often find thrifty, ingenious ways to reuse equipment and resources. What do you do with 800 square feet of scintillator from an old physics experiment? Cut it up and give it to high ...
