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, ...

Gene editing has emerged as a powerful approach for targeting the genetic causes of disease, but getting the editing machinery into the right cells efficiently, safely, and at the scale needed for ...

Our planet is under a constant bombardment of radiation—from space. Well, maybe it’s not as scary as that makes it seem. “Radiation” is a catchall term astronomers use for forms of light—including ...

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 ...

Physicists just discovered a brand-new particle that appears to be an exotic cousin to the protons and neutrons that make up atoms. Those mundane subatomic particles are made up of even smaller ...

I peeked in on the house-sized particle detector known as STAR just after it took its last-ever snapshot of one of the most extreme types of fireball ever created. Inside, the conditions just after ...

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of chemical reactions to producing highly reliable weather forecasts. For now, ...

Bugatti has been testing its new Tourbillon hypercar on track and in other private testing environments for a while, but the most exciting tests, we would argue, are the ones on real-world roads.

Bugatti’s Tourbillon interior concept leans into watchmaking and analog controls instead of tablet-style dashboards, with a fixed-hub steering wheel, mechanical gauge cluster and couture-grade ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

Laser diffraction is recognized as the most reliable light scattering method for analyzing particle size distributions across a range from submicron to millimeter particles. The diffraction set-up ...
