Artificial intelligence software is designing novel experimental protocols that improve upon the work of human physicists, ...

These are both examples of sources of “systematic uncertainty”, and while all concerned do their best to quantify them, there can be unforeseen complications that under- or over-estimate them.

Rahul Rao is a former intern and contributing science writer for Popular Science since early 2021. He covers physics, space, technology, and their intersections with each other and everything else.

But look, if we get into all that, we're going to go real deep on particle physics and it'll explode our brains. The neutrino is unique because it has a vanishingly small mass and no electrical ...

A hydrogen atom, for example, is simply made of one proton and one electron while an atom of plutonium has 94 protons, 94 electrons, and up to 150 neutrons.

In the 1980s, Dr. Turner was among the scientists who began using the tools of particle physics to study the Big Bang and the evolution of the universe, and using the universe to learn about ...

A University of Portsmouth physicist has explored whether a new law of physics could support the much-debated theory that we are simply characters in an advanced virtual world.
