Mercury is tiny, barely bigger than the Moon. Its metallic core makes up 70% of the planet’s mass, vastly exceeding Earth’s 32% and Mars ’ 25%. It’s unlikely that the core actually formed like this.

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial.

The ALICE Collaboration is a winner of the 2025 Gizmodo Science Fair for transforming lead into gold for a fraction of a second and exposing the strange physics that goes on inside the Large Hadron ...

A researcher, Heikki Mäntysaari from the University of Jyväskylä (Finland), has been part of an international research group that has made significant advances in modeling heavy ion collisions. New ...

In the 17th century, astronomers Christiaan Huygens and Giovanni Cassini trained their telescopes on Saturn and uncovered a startling truth: the planet's luminous bands were not solid appendages, but ...

For decades, Uranus baffled scientists because it seemed to have no internal heat. Now, new computer modeling shows the planet actually emits more energy than it receives from the Sun. This subtle ...

Located in China, Juno is a 17-country collaboration that will try to detect neutrinos and antineutrinos to learn more about their mass.

The striking thing about this is that repeating the procedure on the star turned up no evidence of carbon-based chemicals, even though the system is young enough that it should still have a ...

Astronomers detected in unprecedented detail a collision between two black holes. Their observations confirm predictions made by Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
