The top quark is about 100 trillion times heavier than the up quark. But why?
How did we figure out atoms exist?
The concept of atoms had been floating around off and on for a few millennia, but it took some clever experimentation to pinpoint their existence.

What makes Newton's laws work? Here's the simple trick.
Lagrange found that the difference between an object's kinetic energy and potential energy unlocked something deeply profound about the universe.
Unusual 'revived' pulsars could be the ultimate gravitational wave detector
Astronomers hope to use pulsars scattered around the galaxy as a giant gravitational wave detector. But why do we need them, and how do they work?
Just how big can a super-Earth get while staying 'habitable'?
But could these giant, rocky planets actually sustain the conditions for life? Or is life limited to smaller planets like our own?
Planets made of dark matter may have blown up, and we could see them
A new hypothesis proposes that a large fraction of dark matter may be bound up inside tight balls the size of Neptune — so-called dark matter planets.
Black holes may die differently than we thought
New research motivated by string theory suggests possible, and equally strange, fates for evaporating black holes.
