Physicist

Mark Thomson has been named as the new Director-General of CERN, where he will oversee the $17 billion Future Circular Collider project. Thomson, a British physicist known for his role in the discovery of the Higgs boson, will lead the laboratory through challenges such as securing funding and addressing scepticism from key contributors like German...

Primordial black holes, potentially formed shortly after the Big Bang, may be undergoing explosions across the universe, driven by Hawking radiation. Physicists believe that capturing these rare events could reveal undiscovered particles and fundamental physics. Dr. Marco Calzà and Dr. João G. Rosa from the University of Coimbra have proposed way...

Recent research indicates that black holes may actually be “frozen stars,” complex quantum objects that lack the typical singularities and event horizons of conventional black holes. This theory, led by physicist Ramy Brustein from Ben-Gurion University, aims to resolve Stephen Hawking's famous radiation paradox, which suggests information is l...

MIT physicists have proposed that Mars' orbit might wobble due to the presence of primordial black holes, which could be a major source of dark matter in the universe. This theory builds on the idea that such black holes, formed just after the Big Bang, pass through our solar system and cause a gravitational effect detectable by current technology....

Physicists have recently observed an unexpected phenomenon in a superconducting material, potentially pushing the boundaries of what's possible in this field. The discovery centres on a material typically known as an electrical insulator. In this insulator, researchers found that electrons could pair up at temperatures as high as minus 123 degrees ...

The world of microscopy has reached a new frontier with the debut of the world's fastest microscope, a groundbreaking device that captures electron motion at an astonishing rate of 625 attoseconds. This innovative tool, developed by physicist Mohammed Hassan and his team at the University of Arizona, marks a significant advancement in the ability t...

When my colleagues and I set to work on a century-old cosmic mystery, we found an unexpected celestial laboratory in Terzan 5, a dense star cluster currently plunging through our galaxy at breakneck speed.

Physicists are closer to creating element 120, the heaviest element ever known, following a breakthrough at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Three newly discovered craters on Mars, named after physicist Devendra Lal and Indian towns Mursan and Hilsa, were announced by the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL).

Elderly Russian physicist Anatoly Maslov was sentenced on Tuesday to 14 years in a penal colony for treason, the latest of a string of cases against experts working on the science that underpins Russia's development of hypersonic missiles.

The problem is that space, contrary to popular belief, isn't really a giant, self-cleaning void.

Nobel prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs, responsible for the one the greatest scientific discoveries in the last century, died at the age of 94 .

British physicist Peter Higgs, whose theory of a mass-giving particle -- the so-called Higgs boson -- jointly earned him the Nobel Prize for Physics, has died aged 94, the University of Edinburgh announced on Tuesday.

Albert Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Harvey, a pathologist, who wanted to decode the secret behind the physicist's intelligence.

Physicists from Princeton have identified a sudden shift in quantum behavior during experiments with a three-atom-thin insulator, demonstrating its ability to transition effortlessly into a superconductor.
