Physicists believe that in the Universe's first ten microseconds free quarks and gluons filled all of spacetime, forming a new phase of matter named 'quark-gluon plasma' (QGP). Experimental and theoretical work at CERN w...

Researchers in Austria have used lasers to levitate and cool a glass nanoparticle into the quantum regime. Although it is trapped in a room-temperature environment, the particle's motion is solely governed by the laws of...

A RUDN University physicist has developed a formula for calculating Hawking radiation on the event horizon of a black hole, which allows physicists to determine how this radiation would be changed with quantum correction...

Physicists at Washington University in St. Louis have proposed a way to use data from ultra-high energy neutrinos to study interactions beyond the standard model of particle physics. The 'Zee burst' model leverages new d...

Previous studies have shown how the SARS virus (SARS-CoV) interacts with animal and human hosts in order to infect them. The mechanics of infection by the Wuhan coronavirus appear to be similar.

New modeling research estimates that up to 75,800 individuals in the Chinese city of Wuhan may have been infected with 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) as of Jan. 25, 2020. The authors caution that given the lack of a ...

The Institut Pasteur has sequenced the whole genome of the coronavirus known as '2019-nCoV', becoming the first institution in Europe to sequence the virus since the start of the outbreak.

The circadian clock system allows the organisms to adjust to periodical changes of geophysical time. Today, increasing evidence show that disturbances in our internal clocks stemming from frequent time zone changes, irre...

A massive burial ground holding the remains of several high priests of ancient Egypt, along with their assistants, has been discovered in the northern part of the site of Tuna el-Gebel.

Changing aspects of your personality, such as becoming more extroverted or conscientious, can be difficult to achieve based on desire alone.

Neuroimaging technology has limited applicability when assessing a defendant's sanity, a new study reports.

The 195 Americans who were flown back from Wuhan to the U.S. will be quarantined for 14 days.

Copy number variants may act as genetic modifiers that influence the risk of autism and developmental delay versus cancer risk in people with PTEN mutations.

An oak-lined well unearthed in the Czech Republic is made of wood felled more than 7000 years ago - and some of the timber might have been recycled from an earlier structure

High concentrations of microplastics roughly halved the number of animals that are important to the ecosystems in lakes, ponds and canals

Theoretical physicists from Trinity College Dublin have found a deep link between one of the most striking features of quantum mechanics--quantum entanglement--and thermalisation, which is the process in which something ...

It's here, the Life's Little Mysteries podcast has launched and we will answer all of your questions, big and small.

Sometimes, physics theories and constructs can also be used to study seemingly unrelated phenomena, such as social behaviors or dynamics. While human beings are not necessarily similar to specific physical particles, the...

It's not just about the sperm: the semen of male fish carries unidentified substances that influence how quickly the offspring develop and even how well they can swim

The latest US vaping figures show that while experimentation with e-cigarettes is on the rise, regular use is still quite rare among teenagers

The way the fabric of space and time swirls in a cosmic whirlpool around a dead star has confirmed yet another prediction from Einstein's theory of general relativity, a new study finds.
