A single subatomic particle that hit Earth in 2023 carried roughly 100,000 times more energy than anything humanity has ever ...

Observing such an explosion could unlock secrets of the universe. Like cracking a cosmic piñata, an exploding PBH would ...

Humanity has worked itself into a position where we can detect a single high-energy particle from space and wonder where in ...

A neutrino slammed into Earth in 2023 with so much energy that it looked almost unreal. The particle carried about 220 ...

Once this effect kicks in, the black hole discharges rapidly and explodes. Crucially, the UMass team calculated that this ...

Michael Aranda sits in for Hank to talk about the forces of nature that conspired to form Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest ...

Primordial black holes could rewrite our understanding of dark matter and the early universe. A record-breaking detection at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea has some physicists wondering if we ...

Drexel Physics alum Stephen Sclafani, PhD ’23, is the recipient of the American Physical Society’s Ceclia Payne-Gaposchkin Doctoral Dissertation Award in Astrophysics. This award recognizes doctoral ...

Here’s what you'll learn when you read this story: The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is on the hunt to determine the mass ordering of neutrino flavors, and its first results show ...

In space, energetic neutrinos are usually paired with energetic gamma rays. Galaxy NGC 1068, however, emits strong neutrinos and weak gamma rays, which presents a puzzle for scientists to solve. A new ...

An international team of researchers, including the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU, WPI), has used a mismatch between elementary particles and gamma rays ...
