For centuries, alchemists have dreamed of turning lead into gold. At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), they’ve finally managed ...

CERN's ALICE experiment turned lead into gold—briefly—reviving alchemists' old dreams with modern nuclear physics.

MIT physicists have taken the first-ever direct images of individual atoms interacting freely in space. Their findings, ...

Unorthodox though it is, his work has been highly impactful and widely celebrated: Nagel won the 1999 Oliver E. Buckley Prize ...

Until now, atoms have never been imaged interacting freely in space, but a new technique known as non-resolved microscopy has ...

Cogito, ergo sum, as the phrase goes in Latin, cemented the way the Western world would continue to define the self for the next 400 years—as a thinking mind, first and foremost. The experiment used a ...

Tracing back the history of cult comedies, few films have challenged the rules of narrative, and laws of physics like David Wain’s Wet Hot American Summer (2001).

Generative AI can spit out a Lego set concept, but chances are high it won't adhere to the laws of physics. That's where this chatbot from a team at Carnegie Mellon comes in.

Engineers developed a ping-pong-playing robot that quickly estimates the speed and trajectory of an incoming ball and precisely hits it to a desired location on the table.

In addition to training future players, the technology could expand the capabilities of other humanoid robots, such as for search and rescue.

Large Hadron Collider have achieved the ancient dream of turning lead into gold through high-speed nuclear collisions — but ...

The world's largest particle collider produces roughly 89,000 gold nuclei every second, all from smashing lead atoms together ...
