After decades, Chinese researchers confirm the Migdal effect that may help reveal dark matter particles.

I visited CERN to tour the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is located 100 meters beneath Geneva, Switzerland. The facility boasts a 27 km long tunnel that is colder and emptier than outer space. In ...

Chinese scientists have made the first direct observation of a quantum effect that was proposed almost 90 years ago and could ...

What is the fate of the Universe? Why is there more matter than antimatter? What lurks beyond the Standard Model? Each of ...

In a landmark discovery that bridges nearly a century of theoretical physics, a Chinese research team has successfully captured the first direct evidence of the Migdal effect, a breakthrough with ...
