It covered strategic funding of particle physics and astronomy in the UK and also involved running a very large scientific ...

Certainly, the value of the magnetic moment of the muon or the behaviour of superconductors in a fusion reactor (look out for our feature article next week) have nothing do with where anyone sits on ...

The mathematical physicist Freeman Dyson once saw scientists as rebels, fighting other academics who don’t respect them.

Treatment with a cold atmospheric plasma reduced the recurrence rate of melanoma tumours after surgery by roughly 50% ...

A photothermal, nanoparticle-based deep brain stimulation system restored motor skills in mice with Parkinson’s-like disease ...

According to Sobarzo’s and colleagues, this problem has been confounded by the diverse array of variables associated with a material’s contact electrification. These include its electronic properties, ...

Alex Keshavarzi digs into the showdown between two competing Standard Model predictions of the muon, which may reveal undiscovered particles hiding in the vacuum ...

Gates is known for his work on supersymmetry and superstring theory, so it is not surprising that experimental evidence for ...
