A new theoretical study suggests fusion reactors could do more than generate energy, they might also produce particles linked to dark matter. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati say they have ...

A joint effort between two of the world’s largest neutrino experiments has brought scientists closer to understanding how the universe survived its violent beginnings. The findings could reveal why ...

A professor at the University of Cincinnati and his colleagues have figured out something two of America's most famous ...

A wild theory suggests that consciousness may explain quantum mechanics, by forcing the subatomic particles to choose one concrete outcome. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

In a rare global collaboration, scientists from Japan and the United States joined forces to explore one of the universe’s deepest mysteries — why anything exists at all. By combining years of data ...

Physicists had struggled to explain how quantum mechanics allows two particles to affect each other's behavior. "That these two particles are entangled in a way that, no matter how distant they are ...

Decades after it became clear that the visible Universe is built on a framework of dark matter, we still don’t know what dark matter actually is. On large scales, a variety of evidence points toward ...

A green spectacle. With protective eyewear, ISTA PHD student Andrea Stöllner takes a glimpse into the experimental chamber (in the foreground) where two laser beams trap a single particle. One ...
