The weak nuclear force doesn't play by the normal rules — and, in fact, it breaks one of the biggest rules of all.

Very early on in our universe, when it was a seething hot cauldron of energy, particles made of matter and antimatter bubbled into existence in equal proportions. For example, negatively charged ...

While Barry Allen and Wally West are the undisputed fastest beings in the DC Multiverse, there are still many characters in ...

According to the laws of physics, matter and antimatter behave the same way and were formed in equal quantities in the Big ...

Low-energy electrons escape from some materials via distinct “doorway” states, according to a study done by physicists at Austria’s Vienna Institute of Technology. The team studied graphene-based ...

It sounds bizarre, but they exist: crystals made of rotating objects. Physicists from Aachen, Düsseldorf, Mainz and Wayne State (Detroit, U.S.) have jointly studied these exotic objects and their ...

For over a decade, a dim but persistent glow near the center of the Milky Way has confused astronomers. This mysterious ...

Deep sighs physically reset the lung’s inner surface. This lowers breathing effort and explains why caregivers use controlled ...

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

Physicists studied crystals made of rotating objects that fragment easily, show unusual defects, and follow a new theory predicting their unique behavior.

The Nobel Prize winners didn't just make a scientific discovery. They opened a doorway to the future -- a future where the impossible becomes possible, where the rules of reality are stranger and more ...
