This Black physicist’s work on the Manhattan Project inspired a County in Florida two generations after her death

The multiverse offers no escape from our reality—which might be a very good thing

Observations from a retrofitted spy plane hint at a connection between powerful gamma-ray flashes and a thunderstorm’s lightning

Science is filled with tools that once seemed revolutionary and are now just part of the research tool kit. That time may have come for artificial intelligence

Marie Curie is well known for her chemistry achievements but less so for helping other women succeed in science

Physicists have detected a long-sought particle process that may suggest new forces and particles exist in the universe

Physicists report the first observations of quantum entanglement in top and anti-top quarks, the heaviest known fundamental particles and their antimatter counterparts, inside the Large Hadron Collider

The universe’s hidden mass may be made of black holes, which could wobble the planets of the solar system when they pass by

A long-awaited calculation of the W boson’s mass agrees with theory, contradicting a previous anomaly that had raised the possibility of new physics beyond the Standard Model

Helen Edwards was a particle physicist who led the design and construction of the Tevatron, a machine built to probe deeper into the atom than anyone had gone before.

With the detection of a long-predicted “neutrino fog,” the search for particles of dark matter has entered a new age of both possibility and peril

A novel way of making superheavy elements could soon add a new row to the periodic table, allowing scientists to explore uncharted atomic realms
