Detecting high-energy particles is essential for exploring the fundamental structure of matter. Particle accelerators propel ...

The above image shows a 20-meter-long chunk of frozen carbon dioxide falling off a cliff. Rising temperatures during the ...

New research, working toward ambient-pressure high-temperature superconductivity, brings us one step closer to finding superconductors that work in everyday conditions -- and potentially unlocking a ...

As we reported earlier, Donald Trump has suggested that Ukraine "may or may not be Russian someday" (see 8.17am post). We've been keeping an eye on reaction in Ukraine, where the comments are ...
