A bizarre neutrino that crashed into Earth in February 2023 is gaining no shortage of equally bizarre explanations.

An unexplained high-energy neutrino detected three years ago could be linked to a primordial black hole, perhaps one more even unusual than previously thought ...

A string trimmer is an invaluable piece of your lawn care toolbox. Whether you’re tidying up the edges along sidewalks, freshening in and around flowerbeds, or adding a crisp edge to your driveway, ...

Physicists found no tiny black holes at the LHC, but they just made the hiding place for new physics considerably smaller.

Strike a bell, and it rings with a pitch and a fading that tell you about the bell: its size, its shape, the metal it is made ...

Everything in the universe is made of just one single string. Can you imagine such a thing?This is a concept called "superstring theory." We often hear the name, but what exactly is a string? Not much ...

Quantum simulation of particle physics reached a milestone this week: IBM, Duke, and QuEra quantum computers each independently ran real-time gluon string-breaking, the process that creates every ...

Physicists searching through Large Hadron Collider data found no evidence that the machine has been producing microscopic ...

If an "invisible dimension" much smaller than the thickness of a human hair actually existed, and it could simultaneously explain both dark matter (an unidentified substance that cannot be captured by ...

Physicists aren’t known for playing fast and loose with the rules of reality. But when it comes to the concept of space, some take a remarkably permissive attitude. For most of us, it would seem there ...

String theory is one of the most ambitious ideas in modern theoretical physics. It attempts to provide a unified framework for describing gravity and quantum mechanics by proposing that the ...
