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

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 ...

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

A new analysis of data from the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) reveals fresh evidence that collisions of even very small nuclei with large ones might create tiny ...

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 ...
