Deployable Energy's one-megawatt (MW) nuclear battery has reached criticality, meeting the US goal of three new reactors ...

A philosopher has put forward an argument for rethinking how particles are defined within the standard model of particle ...

In the previous article, I added a color gradient to the fire shader. By making the base yellow and the outer edges and tips red, I was able to create a temperature difference in the fire, which was ...

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?

Apple is announcing iOS 27 right now, and one of the first new features is a refined design update for Liquid Glass. This includes a new slider that lets users precisely choose between an opaque ...

When you build and operate in high-stakes, chaotic environments, you have to plan for failure. The Stoics had a name for thinking ahead about this: premeditatio malorum—the deliberate contemplation of ...

A major physics experiment has uncovered evidence for a strange new form of matter, where a fleeting particle gets trapped inside a nucleus. This exotic state may reveal how mass is generated, ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most successful theories, hinting at unknown forces or quantum objects. Now, an ...

The tax expert Ray Madoff explains why the American tax system is broken, and how to make it fairer. This is an edited transcript of “The Ezra Klein Show.” You can listen to the episode wherever you ...

Biomedical researchers have designed an injectable microgel to help reduce bleeding in infants who require surgical care. In an animal model, the engineered microgel reduced bleeding by at least 50%.

A new particle has popped into existence at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, a heavier proton-like particle that contains two charm quarks. Protons and neutrons are examples of a class of particles ...

In this video I show you how to make a simple cloud chamber to see radiation particles using only dry ice, a cup, some paper and some alcohol. This experiment is so amazing! You can actually see the ...
