Dipangkar Dutta receives funding from US Dept. of Energy and NSF. A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What ...

Tiny solid particles—like pollutants, cloud droplets and medicine powders—form highly concentrated clusters in turbulent environments like smokestacks, clouds and pharmaceutical mixers. What causes ...

A new video podcast from GBH and the producers of NOVA, hosted by Hakeem Oluseyi. Should we bring back extinct species? Are we missing a fundamental law of nature? What can ancient fossils tell us ...

Neutrinos, ghostly particles barely interacting with matter, may secretly be reshaping the fates of massive stars. New research suggests that as stars collapse, they form natural "neutrino colliders," ...

Smashing atomic nuclei together at mind-bending speeds recreates the fiery conditions of the early universe and scientists are finally getting a better handle on what happens next. A sweeping new ...

An 11-year-long survey of the particles and antiparticles near our sun is unlocking our solar system’s history – and raising new mysteries about the particles themselves. “It’s like when you walk into ...

Entanglement is perhaps one of the most confusing aspects of quantum mechanics. On its surface, entanglement allows particles to communicate over vast distances instantly, apparently violating the ...
