Little is known about the long-destroyed moon-forming planet, Theia. But it may have been born in the inner solar system—just like Earth—a new study suggests ...

A new study says observations from the NASA Fermi space telescope suggest a halo of dark matter around the center of our ...

The universe occasionally produces a huge surprise that proves physicists wrong, says Kip Thorne, who grew up in Logan, Utah, ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

The supercollider is now being used to explore quantum phenomena, including a “magic” form of quantum entanglement.

Due to the unique conditions of the space environment and abundant resources, the field investigation and study of the Moon, ...

In 2023, scientists detected the gravitational waves from a black hole collision that seemed impossible. New research finally ...

Dr. Marcus Hale, a physicist at the University of Cambridge, has proposed a fascinating theory that could potentially revolutionize our understanding of interstellar travel. In a 2023 paper published ...

In the crowded early Solar System, young planets frequently collided and reshaped each other. But Mercury stood out. It formed unusually close to the Sun. Mercury’s days are longer than its years. It ...

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 ...
