Deep under the Antarctic ice, instruments built to catch ghostly particles have stumbled on something stranger than anyone ...

The ocean is saturated with microplastics. While we know the location of the great garbage patches, where plastic particles ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

A decade-long investigation into puzzling neutrino behavior has now ruled out one of the most widely discussed explanations: the sterile neutrino.

With contributions from Brown faculty and students, the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment analyzed the largest dataset ever collected by ...

A series of unexplained radio signals detected beneath the icy surface of Antarctica has left scientists scratching their ...

In 1867, Lord Kelvin pictured atoms as tiny knots in an invisible medium called the ether. That picture turned out to be wrong, since atoms are built ...

Knotted structures once imagined by Lord Kelvin may actually have shaped the universe’s earliest moments, according to new ...

Odd radio waves emanating from the ice don’t fit our model of particle behavior. Could they be a sign of dark matter?

For three decades, a riddle has followed neutrinos, the near-weightless particles that stream through Earth by the trillions ...

Forty years ago, Voyager imaged Uranus and presented the world with a new mystery. Upon further inspection, it may have just ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...
