The first time the placebo effect really got under my skin was when I read that roughly one-third of people with irritable bowel syndrome improve on placebo treatments alone. Usually this statistic is ...

A weird force that skirts traditional physics norms has helped erase a smudge on the foundations of particle physics. It’s a phenomenon called the “neutrino force,” by which neutrinos could ...

Our planet is under a constant bombardment of radiation—from space. Well, maybe it’s not as scary as that makes it seem. “Radiation” is a catchall term astronomers use for forms of light—including ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Artist’s impression of the new particle, which contains two charm quarks and one down quark. Physicists just discovered a ...

iHeartMedia and Charlamagne Tha God’s Black Effect Podcast Network have announced the lineup for the 4th annual Black Effect Podcast Festival, taking place in Atlanta next month. This year’s event ...

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now shown that the Kondo effect behaves very differently depending on spin ...

This After Effects tutorial shows how to create a dynamic particle explosion effect for music videos and visual edits. Learn how to use particles, motion, and compositing techniques to add high-impact ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that bizarre interactions between subatomic particles known as neutrinos could be explained by another type of neutrino. The ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem discovered that the magnetic component of light plays a direct role in the Faraday effect, overturning a 180-year-old assumption that only its ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists at MIT discovered a method to create a kind of particle accelerator using a molecule of radium monofluoride. Once excited by lasers in a ...
