In a cavernous tunnel beneath the French–Swiss border, physicists have briefly recreated conditions that existed microseconds ...

Tohoku University (Japan), LPP (France), and partners has demonstrated that chorus emissions, natural electromagnetic waves ...

The interaction between electromagnetic waves and plasma is a subject of considerable interest due to its relevance in aerospace, telecommunications, and stealth technologies. When electromagnetic ...

In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles ...

What if the next new theory of the universe didn’t come from a human mind, but from an artificial one? In a development that has left the scientific community both awestruck and unsettled, artificial ...

In the quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe, physicists are revisiting a 150-year-old theory that could illuminate why matter prevails over antimatter. This knot hypothesis, originally ...

Our universe started with a bang that blasted everything into existence. But what happened next is a mystery. Scientists think that before atoms formed—or even the protons and neutrons they’re made of ...

A process important to black holes and supernovas has for the first time been demonstrated in a laboratory. A promising method for producing and observing on Earth a process important to black holes, ...

Physicists have used a machine-learning method to identify surprising new twists on the non-reciprocal forces governing a many-body system. The work is one of the relatively few instances of using AI ...

Researchers have uncovered a process in the swirling masses of plasma surrounding black holes and neutron stars that can cause previously unexplained emissions of light and heat. These findings can ...

Two grants from the Department of Energy were recently awarded to professors in the Department of Physics, one to research professor Alla Safronova and another to professor Bruno Bauer. Both ...
