Every time I write about particle physics, I encounter a moment of uncertainty about a quantity that, at first glance, ought to be clear. How many kinds of elementary particles should I say there are?

"We have never observed such a high-energy neutrino before, and if it turns out to come from cosmic accelerators like blazars, it would give us new insight into how these objects can emit particles at ...

Stardust Solutions says its tiny spheres can reflect the sun’s rays without harming people or the environment. Critics say private companies have no business altering Earth’s atmosphere. An enclosed ...

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to belong to one of two categories — bosons or fermions — but researchers have ...

A pair of rare particles produced in high-energy proton collisions may be the clearest evidence yet that mass can emerge from empty space. The finding could shed light on one of the biggest puzzles in ...

Barry Caldwell, who directed and animated the Nickelodeno series “Animaniacs” from 1993 to 1998, has died. He was 68. “Barry Caldwell was one of the first animation artists I met when I started my ...

Barry Caldwell, the animator and director known for Animaniacs (1993-’98) and Osmosis Jones (2001), has died. He was 68. The graphic artist’s longtime friend and colleague, animator Paul Dini, shared ...

In November, scientists arrived at the South Pole in planes outfitted with skis to pull off a construction project seven years in the making. They had a short summer window — November to early ...

When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three-dimensional space—things get divided nicely into ...

Scientists discovered “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, demonstrating how the facility has evolved to support quantum computing research. Researchers at ATLAS observed ...

Cooking even very fatty food in an air fryer produces fewer airborne particles than other forms of frying, according to a new study from the University of Birmingham. The work is one of the first ...

If you're a classic collector, you might've been lucky enough to snag yourself one of those old retro TVs, a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube). The tech has been around for over a century, having been invented ...
