High-precision measurements from the KATRIN experiment strongly limit the existence of light sterile neutrinos and narrow the search for new physics. Neutrinos are extremely difficult to detect, yet ...

In recent years, astronomers have become increasingly interested in a theoretical particle known as the axion, which was ...

A small, icy moon of Saturn called Enceladus is one of the prime targets in the search for life elsewhere in the solar system ...

Scientists accidentally create gold hydride under extreme pressure, revealing unexpected chemistry and insights into ...

A new light-based probe allows scientists to explore electrical currents in environments previously beyond reach.

Warm dense matter is a state of matter that forms at extreme temperatures and pressures, like those found at the center of ...

A long-standing physics mystery has been solved with the discovery of emergent photon-like behavior inside a strange quantum ...

Today, oceans cover about 70% of Earth’s surface. This stark contrast has long driven scientific interest in how water ...

Startups flush with cash are building AI-assisted laboratories to find materials far faster and more cheaply, but are still ...

New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through a solid iron lattice. This unusual behavior makes the core soft, matching ...

In a breakthrough that reshapes our understanding of materials, researchers have identified a new state of matter known as a corralled supercooled liquid. In this unusual form, atoms behave partly ...

Scientists have discovered a new state of matter that isn't a solid, liquid, or gas. Researchers call this new type of material a 'corralled supercooled liquid'. Atoms in a liquid are normally like ...
