Hot on the heels of proving an 87-year-old prediction that matter can be generated directly from light, Rice University physicists and their colleagues have detailed how that process may impact future ...

astronomers has uncovered a third galaxy devoid of dark matter, challenging conventional wisdom about the invisible substance that is believed to hold galaxies together. Published in a new study ...

When two black holes orbit each other, they eventually spiral inward and collide in one of the most violent phenomena in the ...

For the first time, scientists have detected two black hole mergers with spins so unusual they may reveal a new generation of cosmic collisions. The twin discoveries, labeled GW241011 and GW241110, ...

Talk about epic. A collision of two black holes is so extreme that it’s challenging physics theories of how large black holes form and merge. The two black holes had masses bigger than any before ...

In a paper in Nature, the ALICE Collaboration 1 reports that data from high-energy collisions between protons can be used to investigate the little-understood nuclear forces between protons and ...

An international team of physicists has studied how particles are produced in high-energy electron–proton collisions through the lens of entanglement entropy Entanglement entropy has emerged as a new ...
