Particle never before seen on Earth detected; it could come from a primordial black hole and the origin of the universe.

The Sun unleashes a torrent of charged particles. Some of them slam into the Earth’s atmosphere, triggering breathtaking auroras in the night sky. But for equipment that’s orbiting our planet in outer ...

Following a massive cryovolcanic eruption, the mysterious Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann has been morphed into a giant spiral and is now shining 100 times brighter than normal.

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up ...

"If our hypothesized dark charge is true, then we believe there could be a significant population of primordial black holes, which would be consistent with other astrophysical observations, and ...

For the first time, scientists have observed a collection of particles, also known as a quasiparticle, that's massless when moving one direction but has mass in the other direction. The quasiparticle, ...

In Cairn you will come to a cave full of glowing crystals made of Piton-proof hard stone that has a ledge high above the cave and a seemingly impossible route to get to it. Above is a great prize, the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. US physicists have shed light on a long-standing mystery after they captured rare experimental evidence that links the fleeting ...

For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Do kaons decay using a new kind of physics? Researchers are trying to explain their anomalous findings. Their larger experiment is an ongoing ...

Yes, really—your body glows in the dark. Not in a sci-fi, radioactive superhero kind of way, but in a subtle, ghostly shimmer that’s 1,000 times too faint for the human eye to see. This strange and ...

Nanoparticle synthesis refers to methods for creating nanoparticles. Nanoparticles can be derived from larger molecules, or synthesized by ‘bottom-up’ methods that, for example, nucleate and grow ...
