The Sun unleashes a torrent of charged particles. Some of them slam into the Earth’s atmosphere, triggering breathtaking auroras in the night sky. But for equipment that’s orbiting our planet in outer ...

"If our hypothesized dark charge is true, then we believe there could be a significant population of primordial black holes, which would be consistent with other astrophysical observations, and ...

Cosmic rays are extremely fast, charged particles that travel through space at nearly the speed of light. The Amaterasu particle was detected in 2021 by the Telescope Array experiment in the U.S. It ...

I peeked in on the house-sized particle detector known as STAR just after it took its last-ever snapshot of one of the most extreme types of fireball ever created. Inside, the conditions just after ...

The expolision of a black hole could explain the origins of a mysterious high-energy neutrino detected in 2023, as well as shedding more light on the mystery of dark matter in the process. In 2023, a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A 220 PeV neutrino may have come from an exploding primordial black hole with a hidden “dark charge,” researchers report. (CREDIT: ...

Black holes are born from the explosive deaths of stars. But can black holes themselves explode? Nobody knows for sure — but if they can, a team of scientists argue they may have spotted evidence of ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that particles of matter emerging from energetic subatomic smashups retain a key ...

Fundamental particles called quarks can be created in quantum-correlated pairs. These correlations can be passed on to larger particles that form from the quarks. The strong force differs from others ...

A neutrino slammed into Earth in 2023 with so much energy that it looked almost unreal. The particle carried about 220 peta–electron volts, or PeV, making it the most energetic neutrino ever reported.

Scientists discovered “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, demonstrating how the facility has evolved to support quantum computing research. Researchers at ATLAS observed ...

Scientists link 2023’s high-energy neutrino to exploding quasi-extremal primordial black holes Primordial black holes formed soon after the Big Bang and are smaller than stellar black holes These ...
