Could a cosmic uncertainty principle help explain dark matter?
By Paul Sutter published
The universe may have its own version of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and that might be enough to explain dark energy without invoking any new physics at all.

What flings mysteriously powerful particles called 'cosmic rays' at Earth?
By Robert Lea published

Large Hadron Collider gives scientists their best look yet at conditions right after the Big Bang
By Robert Lea published
"This is the first time we have observed, for a large interval in momentum and for multiple species, this flow pattern in a subset of proton collisions in which an unusually large number of particles are produced."

Is time a fundamental part of reality? A quiet revolution in physics suggests not
By Florian Neukart published
It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.

Scientists hunt for origins of the mysterious 'sun goddess' particle
By Robert Lea published
Scientists have used a novel new approach to discover the potential origins of the sun goddess particle Amaterasu, the second most energetic cosmic ray ever to be detected striking Earth.
