Want to study high-energy particles streaming through the cosmos at nearly the speed of light? There's an app for that.

A new particle called the Majorana fermion is made of both matter and antimatter and physicists think it could advance quantum computer development and aid the search for dark matter.

Physicist Subir Sachdev gave a live lecture at the Perimeter Institute on Oct. 1, explaining the basics of quantum entanglement and levitating superconductors.

Harvard physicist Subir Sachdev will give a presentation on quantum entanglement and superconductivity at the Perimeter Institute on Oct. 1 during a live webcast at 7 p.m. EDT.

A drone captured sweeping aerial shots of the protest happening in Hong Kong over China's refusal to allow democratic elections for Hong Kong's chief executive.

NASA's Earth Observatory released an image of an 'O'-shaped open-cell cloud that formed over the Pacific Ocean in early September.

A plasma bubble likely contributed to the helicopter radio communication failure during the battle of Takur Ghar, part of Operation Anaconda during the war in Afghanistan.

Geologists are using 3D-printed rocks to study how oil and gas moves through underground rock and the research could have important implications for fracking.

Researchers developed a technique to calculate quantum wave functions 350 times faster than previous methods.

A team of evolutionary psychologists discovered that a few facial muscle groups are responsible for a universal "angry face."

New research suggests that spending more time with electronic devices and less time with face-to-face interaction is making kids worse at recognizing and reading emotions in others.
