In October two discoverers of neutrino oscillations won the Nobel Prize. Now their full teams and those of several other experiments on the strange particles share a $3-million award --

Fundamental Physics Prize recognizes five collaborations studying neutrino oscillations. Hot on the heels of their Nobel Prize recognition, neutrino oscillations have another accolade to add to their list. On Nov. 8, rep...

Researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington are developing a next generation positron beam facility that will enable them to analyze the properties of advanced materials for future electronics applications such a...

A Google Doodle on Nov. 9, 2015, honored Hedy Lamarr, MGM movie star and inventor

New revelations from NASA's New Horizons probe shows Pluto's diverse geology is blanketed with a more compact atmosphere than we thought

Researchers at North Carolina State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a technique to make titanium stronger without sacrificing any of the metal's ductility - a combination that no one has ach...

A coral reef has been seen raising the acidity in the water around it, suggesting that corals may survive ocean acidification caused by climate change

Massive great white sharks launching their 3-ton bodies out of the ocean and into the air can be a spectacular sight, if you're lucky enough (and brave enough) to be in the right place at the right time.

Physicists use particle accelerators to find differences between antimatter and matter, which could offer insight into why matter dominates the universe --

See amazing images of great white sharks breaching off South Africa, launching their 3-ton bodies from the water to grab seals.

What will online education look like in 10 years? That's a good question, and we're about to make some predictions. But first, to keep our perspective, let's talk about a...

The Breakthrough Prize is the richest award in science, conferring $3 million on each winner or winning team. In a series of symposia, current and previous winners discuss the science that earned... --

Researchers have devised a technology that can bring true color to infrared imaging systems, like the one used to track Arnold Schwarzenegger through the jungle in the movie "Predator."

An antibody in trials to treat Alzheimer's in humans has been shown to be damaging in mice, causing neurons in their brain to become hyperactive

Queen's University Professor Emeritus and Nobel laureate Arthur McDonald, representing the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) Collaboration, has received the 2016 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.

How fast we age and whether we get cancer may be predetermined by two "clocks" found in almost every cell in the human body

Researchers in Munich have presented a highly sensitive sensor for precise measurement of particle tracks. This is the first module for the Vertex Detector of the Belle II experiment at the Japanese accelerator center KE...

The oil giant is to be investigated over alleged suppression since the 1970s of research revealing the effect of fossil fuels on the climate

Humans aren't the only ones stressed out by city life. Feral urban bees' immune systems work harder to fend off more intense attacks from deadly pathogens.

Researchers at Donghua University have built the paper out of nanoscale graphene oxide. In a "micro-robot capacity, the origami-inspired paper can be used to grasp and move objects that are up to 5X heavier.

President Obama cancelled it, but the Keystone XL pipeline may have been doomed by the US oil industry itself, as much as the environmental movement
