Theoretical physicists Peter Higgs and François Englert, the two responsible for setting forth the idea of the "God particle," have won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced Tuesday.
The speed of light has long been regarded as a fixed constant, something that can help us understand the world around us better, but two new studies may have something new to say about it - that it's not actually constant.
A Singaporean scientist captured the imagination of hundreds of technology junkies when he showed off his "invisible cloak" technology earlier this week at a California tech conference.
The old saying that "ignorance is bliss" might just hold truer and faster at critical levels than anything else. It seems that while we may have located and codified the mysterious crux of mass - the Higgs boson particle - we may have indirectly elicited our own demise.
Dark matter, an elusive cosmic phenomenon, has been the subject of much debate, but a lot of speculation may be put to rest in two weeks. At the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference, a scientist from MIT has hinted that data from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) could provide some breakthrough insights into most of our universe's mass.
