The possibilities for dark matter have just been reduced – by a lot
Scientists have just narrowed down the possible hiding places for dark matter particles. The LUX-ZEPLIN, or LZ, experiment has searched
Mayo is surprisingly great at understanding nuclear fusion experiments
The texture of mayonnaise inspires love and hate. Either way, it’s perfect for physics experiments. The classic seasoning is useful
A prototype nuclear clock hints at extremely accurate timekeeping
Scientific watchmakers have created a prototype of a nuclear clock, hinting at future possibilities for using atomic nuclei to make
Why this physicist is bringing thermodynamics into the quantum age
Imagine Victorian London, but its skies are filled with airplanes. Steam robots crowd the streets, mingling with people in hats
X-rays from nuclear explosions can protect Earth from asteroids
An asteroid heading toward Earth can be deflected without ever touching a spacecraft. The trick is to use X-rays to
