Hawking radiation is slowly erasing black holes over unimaginable timescales. This video explains the physics behind virtual particles at the event horizon, the fate of primordial black holes, and the ...

In 1974, physicist Stephen Hawking described the potential for tiny, primordial black holes that existed at the dawn of time ...

When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three-dimensional space—things get divided nicely into ...

Scientists discovered “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, demonstrating how the facility has evolved to support quantum computing research. Researchers at ATLAS observed ...

A window into how visible matter emerges from the "nothing" of vacuum has been opened by physicists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New York. The ...

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties and—perhaps oddest of all—particles that spontaneously spring into being from the ...

Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary particles. Researchers expected this transition to change how disordered the ...

Retired Professor Kaho Sint-Lieven, Now KU Leuven, Faculty of Engineering Technology, Ghent Campus, Belgium. Although classical electrodynamics describes the electromagnetic phenomena and laws in a ...

A Michigan State University researcher has helped lead a groundbreaking collaboration that could bring scientists closer to understanding how the universe came to be. For the first time, two of the ...

A green spectacle. With protective eyewear, ISTA PHD student Andrea Stöllner takes a glimpse into the experimental chamber (in the foreground) where two laser beams trap a single particle. One ...
