Optical computing has emerged as a powerful approach for high-speed and energy-efficient information processing. Diffractive ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the cosmos’s dark matter. By Kenneth Chang Just how many types of neutrinos ...

Deep underground in southern China, there is a 20,000-ton tank of liquid that can detect neutrinos. Named JUNO, the detector's first results are in — and they're very promising. When you purchase ...

Join Josh and Ollie on Jolly as they explore the Korean particle '만,' which means 'only.' This fun and educational lesson covers how to use '만' with nouns, pronouns, and verbs. With real-life examples ...

Using a precisely aligned pair of laser beams, scientists can now hold a single aerosol particle in place and monitor how it charges up. The particle’s glow signals each step in its changing ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project. The way that intense X-rays are ...

Moonshot released its new Kimi K2 Thinking model on Thursday. It claims to outperform GPT-5 and Sonnet 4.5 on some benchmarks. Open-source AI poses a challenge to proprietary US models. The global AI ...

The Atlantic hurricane season is drawing to a close, and with the tropics quieting down for a winter slumber, the focus of forecasters turns to evaluating what worked and what did not during the ...

CrunchLabs, the maker of STEM activity kits for kids founded by NASA engineer turned YouTube science communicator Mark Rober, has launched Class CrunchLabs, a collection of free standards-aligned ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...
