Scientists are using anesthesia to probe the quantum roots of consciousness—and the research offers tantalizing evidence.

Nuclear physicists have long been working to reveal how the proton gets its spin. Now, a new method that combines experimental data with state-of-the-art calculations has revealed a more detailed ...

University of Chicago scientists have solved a 20-year-old puzzle in particle physics using data from an experiment conducted for an entirely different purpose. Physicists had long known that ...

Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found evidence ...

For three decades, a riddle has followed neutrinos, the near-weightless particles that stream through Earth by the trillions each second. They change identities as they fly, shifting among three known ...

Southwest Research Institute partnered with the Carnegie Institution for Science to perform laboratory experiments to better understand how Saturn's moon Titan can maintain its unique nitrogen-rich ...

Breaking up: a new measurement of the hydrogen dissociation energy disagrees with theory. (Courtesy: iStock/FrankRamspott) The most precise experimental value for the dissociation energy of molecular ...

Mark Van Raamsdonk proposes a unification of quantum mechanics and gravity. Both quantum mechanics and gravity theories have been abundantly verified through experiment, yet the realities they ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. A new measurement of the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together, confirms previous hints of an uncomfortable ...
