Among the more puzzling cosmic phenomena discovered over the past few decades are brief and very bright flashes of blue and ...

Europe's physics lab CERN on Thursday said private donors had pledged $1 billion toward the construction of a new particle accelerator that would be by far the world's biggest.

After years of searching, scientists at the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have ruled out the possibility of ...

The internet is awash with adverts for various portable heaters, with claims that they will heat your house for pennies. Some ...

Loureiro studied the behavior of plasma and worked to explain the physics behind astronomical phenomena such as solar flares.

On Earth, the Sun often appears yellow or even orange and red, particularly at sunrise and sunset. This visual shift occurs ...
