Atomic physicists at NASA are working to create an exotic state of matter...in space. And it turns out, the International Space Station is the perfect home base for these experiments.

Scientists thought they knew the approximate size of a proton until a 2010 experiment came back with a very different number, creating the proton-radius puzzle.

Many believe that our universe might be part of a multiverse, but how close are we really to finding a parallel universe?

The HADES machine is creating quantum matter fireballs with temperatures up to 800 billion degrees Celsius, in an effort to study quarks.

Einstein dubbed the idea of quantum entanglement as "spooky action at a distance." Now for the first time ever, scientists have taken a picture of it.

These scientists discovered the longest half-life ever recorded.

Scientists have long been aware of the universe's expansion. However, there is much debate between scientists on how fast the universe is expanding.

Asteroids hold untold riches when it comes to “untapped resources.” We are getting closer to harvesting celestial objects, but how close are we to mining asteroids?

A quasar, or quasi-stellar radio source, was thought to be the signal for a galaxy on the brink of death. However, a recent discovery of cold quasars suggests otherwise.

Ever wonder how we try to predict the unpredictable? Supercomputers use the power of chaos theory.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope discovered these electrically charged molecules shaped like soccer balls. These "buckyballs" could shed insight on the creation of stars and planets.

In order to test Hawking radiation, scientists created their own artificial black hole using sound. But how?
