Neutrinos, often referred to as ‘ghost particles,’ are nearly massless and can travel through matter without significant ...

In quantum mechanics, an exciton is a particle formed by the combination of an electron and a positive hole to which it is attracted. Excitons carry no charge, so they are hard to detect.

An international research team led by the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made significant ...

A deep-sea telescope has recorded the most energetic neutrino ever observed, shedding light on extreme cosmic events.

Astronomers still can’t entirely account for the explosive power of a supernova. “It was thought that this rebounding shock that’s produced when the neutron star forms could explode the star ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has caught yet another visual spectacle, depicting layers of interstellar material illuminated by a supernova in a phenomenon known as a thermal light echo.

Once dismissed as impractical, researchers are developing methods to convert CO₂ into a wide range of valuable products, such as consumer goods, industrial materials or chemicals. This progress ...

This supernova, detected as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) program, could help scientists add more detail to the cosmic picture of stellar life and death they are ...

"Spiked," Highly commended. A bloodied yet determined honey badger returns to finish finish off a Cape porcupine, which earlier had tried to defend itself. Found throughout Botswana, honey badgers ...

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

To get treats, apes eagerly pointed them out to humans who didn’t know where they were, a seemingly simple experiment that demonstrated for the first time that apes will communicate unknown ...
