Researchers at CERN may be on the verge of explaining the universe’s missing gamma rays and hidden magnetic fields.

Here are twelve theories that, while sounding like they’re straight out of a sci-fi novel, are actually supported by real ...

Rice University researchers have captured the temperature profile of quark-gluon plasma, the ultra-hot state of matter from ...

According to the model, dark matter may have started as particles that were hot, light, massless, and fast. As the universe cooled, these particles became heavy, slow, and dark, becoming an invisible ...

How did the universe come into being? There are a multitude of theories on this subject. In a Physical Review Letters paper, ...

GEM is a comprehensive electromagnetic gyrokinetic delta-f particle code that includes the full dynamics of gyrokinetic ions and drift-kinetic electrons. Magnetic perturbations perpendicular to the ...

Nuclear and plasma physics form complementary pillars in our understanding of the fundamental forces and states of matter. Nuclear physics investigates the structure, dynamics and interactions of ...

Our universe may be fundamentally unstable. In a flash, the vacuum of space-time may find a new ground state, triggering a cataclysmic transformation of the physics of the universe. Or not. A new ...
