The molecular hydrogen ion H₂⁺ is the simplest molecule. This simplicity makes it a perfect study object for physicists, as ...

Two colliding galaxies have been found to be reorganizing their dwarf satellites, potentially solving a major conundrum plaguing the standard model of cosmology.

For more than two decades, the standard model of cosmology has stood as a reliable guide to the universe. Known as Lambda ...

Video search à la ChatGPT, cameras with Matter, smart locks with Aliro and toy bots with AI from Nuki, Reolink, Shelly, ...

Dark energy —the term used to describe whatever is causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate—is one of the ...

Might two bent crystals pave the way to finding new physics? The Standard Model of particle physics describes our world at its smallest scales exceptionally well. However, it leaves some important ...

A new study suggests that mysterious “dark dwarfs” could provide crucial insights into the true nature of dark matter.

What We Thought We Knew Dark matter has long been a cornerstone of modern cosmology, introduced to explain observed gravitational effects that cannot be accounted for by visible matter alone. Since ...

Textbooks give strange, imprecise explanations of where things happen in quantum mechanics. Consistency with gravity needs a fresh approach.

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...
