High-energy cosmic rays, 10 million times more powerful than particles accelerated in Earth's strongest atom smasher, may hide a superheavy secret that is the key to unlocking a 60-year-old puzzle.

Scientists used some of the most advanced plasma simulations ever created to uncover how the universe builds enormous magnetic fields out of turbulence. The discovery could reshape our understanding ...

Simulating the nonlinear optical physics that underlies ultrafast laser systems is computationally demanding—a practical ...

From writing emails to generating computer code, much of the artificial intelligence prevalent in our daily lives has ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — must be incomplete, because there are a host of phenomena it cannot ...

Skylar Buttler, a 2026 20 Twenties winner from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, shares her journey in astrophysics and advice on perseverance in aerospace. Butler's research encompasses planetary ...

CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron has a resonant “ghost.” Using mathematics, physicists measured and modeled how these resonant lines intersect. Modeling a 3D shape over time requires a 4D system of ...

A new study suggests that decaying dark matter may have helped create the universe’s first supermassive black holes much earlier than expected. The idea could explain why these massive objects show up ...
