A couple of times a month — sometimes more, sometimes less — an explosion goes off on the surface of the sun, releasing energy that's equal to millions of hydrogen bombs. Mind boggling as that number ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

A collaboration between the University of Konstanz and Forschungszentrum Jülich has achieved the first fully tunable ...

Tiny solid particles — like pollutants, cloud droplets and medicine powders — form highly concentrated clusters in turbulent environments like smokestacks, clouds and pharmaceutical mixers. What ...

It may be possible to draw energy from a vacuum using gravity, a theoretical physicist says. If researchers succeed in showing that this can happen, it could prove the long-postulated existence of the ...

Atoms are usually made of protons, neutrons and electrons. These are made of even smaller elementary particles. Elementary particles, also known as fundamental particles, are the smallest particles we ...
