Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the ...

Supercooled water may be a two-for-one deal. A long-standing theory holds that liquid water at temperatures well below freezing is composed of two different arrangements of molecules, one with high ...

Liquid nitrogen normally requires industrial-scale cooling systems, but a group of experimenters decided to make it from scratch. Using compressors, refrigerants, and extreme pressure control, they ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...
