An international team of researchers has systematically measured the β-decay half-lives of 40 nuclei near calcium-54, ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole new model to account for gravity’s influence.

Physicists have unveiled a new way to simulate a mysterious form of dark matter that can collide with itself but not with ...

The physics department at UC Santa Barbara houses its own powerful particle accelerator that accelerates electrons to 99.4% of the speed of light: The Sherwin Group’s ability to produce short and ...

"Dark matter can be red hot when it is born, but still have time to cool down before galaxies begin to form." ...

A new suggestion that complexity increases over time, not just in living organisms but in the nonliving world, promises to rewrite notions of time and evolution. In 1950 the Italian physicist Enrico ...

An inexplicably hot, fast-growing cluster of galaxies in the early universe has scientists questioning theories of galactic evolution.

Seven years after the unexpected discovery of superconductivity in iron-based compounds, the study of these “surprise” superconductors is maturing. Hideo Aoki and the discoverer of the first ...

Protein evolution plays a key role in many biological processes that are essential for life – but what does it have to do with physics? Schematic overview of procedure used to generate simulated ...
