This particle contains three quarks: a strange quark, an up quark and a bottom quark (s-u-b). While its existence was predicted by the Standard Model, the…
From economic trends, population growth, the spread of cancer, or the adoption of new technology, certain patterns inevitably seem to emerge. A new technology,…
The concept all begins with a granular system comprising a chain of equal-sized particles — spheres, for instance — that touch one another.In a paper in…
Not only do they spin, they can also move laterally across their host galaxy. And according to astrophysicists at Brigham Young University, both types of…
The new moon is the smallest discovered around Pluto. It has an estimated diameter of 8 to 21 miles (13 to 34 km). By comparison, Charon, Pluto's largest moon,…
Such a computer, operating on the highly complex principles of quantum mechanics, would be capable of performing specific calculations with capabilities far…

Scientists must learn more about these fields because they are crucial to understanding how coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, travel through space — sometimes…
The first of the two probes settled into a stable orbit around the moon's equator on June 27. If all goes well, the second probe will assume a similar lunar…
Neptune is the most distant major planet in our solar system. German astronomer Johann Galle discovered the planet on September 23, 1846. At the time, the…
Ohio State University researchers are leveraging powerful supercomputers to investigate one of the key observational probes of “dark energy,” the mysterious…
The Mössbauer Group at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), Germany, has made a significant contribution towards the exploration of Mars during its…
Physicists at the University of California, Riverside report that they have discovered a new way to create positronium, an exotic and short-lived atom that…
The world’s second X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) recently went online in Japan, hot on the heels of the first, the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at the…
They have shown that it is possible for light (electromagnetic waves) to propagate from point A to point B without accumulating any phase, spreading through…
This curious “superposition,” a hallmark of the quantum world, is a chip-scale, microwave version of a common optics experiment in which a device called a…
