The six-year Dark Energy Survey has released its full results, showing that two leading models of cosmology are equally valid ...

A 'boom' of light that appears when a particle exceeds the speed of light set by a medium could, in other contexts, signal a kind of quantum instability that could trigger what's known as vacuum decay ...

"These results from the Dark Energy Survey shine new light on our understanding of the universe and its expansion." ...

Touch the back of a laptop and it often feels warm. This is because part of the energy used for computation and communication ...

Particle and high energy physics seeks to understand the fundamental constituents of matter and the interactions that govern them across the smallest distance scales and highest energies. The Standard ...

The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully completed the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) and released its first physics results.

Understand the energy density of electric and magnetic fields by exploring how energy is stored and distributed in electromagnetic fields. This video explains the underlying physics, key equations, ...

A $200,000 unrestricted physics endowment to the Louisiana Tech University College of Engineering and Science honors the life ...

Physicists spotted a “terribly exciting” new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and debated the meaning of quantum mechanics. It in no way reflects my feelings toward Quanta staff ...

Roland Winston, SB’56, SM’57, PhD’63—a pioneer in solar energy, engineering, and physics—died Feb. 8 at his home in California. He was 88. Winston was a University of Chicago professor in the ...
