Scientists have mapped the upper atmosphere of Uranus in detail, revealing a cooler, thinner, and more unevenly charged layer around the planet than expected.

The Standard Model of Particle Physics is the best theory scientists have to explain how the universe works on subatomic ...

After 25 years, Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—the U.S.’s largest particle collider—has ceased operations, but its science lives on ...

(via PBS Space Time) Physicists have long believed that detecting the particle of gravity—the graviton—was fundamentally impossible, with the universe itself seeming to block every direct attempt.

You might think of x-rays as the go-to particle to see through solid objects. But there's a subatomic particle out there that can see through everything from volcanos to lead shielding in nuclear ...

In 2023, a subatomic particle smashed into the Mediterranean Sea with enough energy to rattle the foundations of physics. The particle was a neutrino, a fundamental subatomic particle that usually ...

For the UA's Elliott Cheu and 10,000 other physicists whose futures are linked to results coming from the Large Hadron Collider, Tuesday was a very good morning. Two beams of matter, each traveling at ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum tunneling and energy quantization in an electrical ...

Dipangkar Dutta receives funding from US Dept. of Energy and NSF. A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What ...
