Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

Scientists finally caught solar neutrinos triggering a rare atomic transformation once thought nearly impossible to observe.

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is estimated to account for most of ...

A team of researchers from the University of Zurich and the NCCR PlanetS is challenging our understanding of the solar system ...

The world's largest neutrino detector, a massive, spherical facility located 700 meters deep underground in South China's Guangdong province, has delivered its first set of experimental results.
