Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible ...

A new study on the mechanical stability of bonds between the spike protein on the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its receptors on human cells during infection has revealed differences in the binding stability ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...

Hungarian researchers have reported the persistent detection of an anomalous decay signal, interpreted as evidence for a new particle, X17, which would necessitate the existence of a fifth fundamental ...

You may think of physics as a way to explain the behaviors of things like black holes, colliding particles, falling apples, and quantum computers. But a small group physicists today is working on a ...

Images from NASA's June Spacecraft have given oceanographers the raw materials for a new study that describes the rich turbulence at Jupiter's poles and the physical forces that drive the large ...
