Astronomers witnessed a star emitting as much energy in mere moments as our sun puts out in a few months. The dramatic observation gives a direct look into the brutal physics of these stellar events.

There have been concerns about technology dating back to the 19th-century Luddites, who opposed the industrial revolution. In ...

Even though the intense gravitational fields of black holes should cause them to evaporate faster, they put off total ...

UNTIL now, the scientific community has lacked a method for globally observing the vertical motion of cloud and precipitation ...

In a collider ring on Long Island, physicists have turned a long standing thought experiment into hard data, watching new ...

NASA has already set a date for a mission that will study how space radiation affects humans on the surface of the Moon.

A cancer treatment has been reformulated into a simple injection after its key components behaved differently in ...

Humanity has worked itself into a position where we can detect a single high-energy particle from space and wonder where in Nature it came from. Billions of people likely don’t care at all about such ...

Physicists think a 2023 particle detection marks the first exploding black hole seen. If true, it rewrites our understanding of dark matter.

A rare black hole explosion accounts for an “impossible” neutrino detection, say UMass Amherst scientists, possibly hinting ...

MIT researchers have built a terahertz microscope that reveals hidden quantum motion inside superconductors for the first time.

Once this effect kicks in, the black hole discharges rapidly and explodes. Crucially, the UMass team calculated that this ...
