In a landmark discovery that bridges nearly a century of theoretical physics, a Chinese research team has successfully ...

Scientists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have found new evidence that collisions of small nuclei with large ones can create tiny specks of quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state of matter ...

Once dismissed as sticks and forgotten in a museum, the 5,000-year-old tools show prehistoric people hunted whales far from ...

For nearly a century, scientists have been searching for direct evidence of dark matter—one of the key missing pieces of our theoretical understanding of the universe. While we have glimpsed the ...

A pile of ancient arrowheads from southern Africa still holds traces of toxic plant residue, even after some 60,000 years. The discovery pushes back the earliest direct evidence of poisoned arrow use ...

NASA’s Webb Space Telescope has captured direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet beyond our solar system for the first time. The images feature HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years from ...

Stony Brook University physicists Gabor David and Axel Drees sketch out how a signal of jet energy loss in deuteron-gold collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) supports the case that ...
