A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic ...

As the nucleus splits, it also releases its neutrons. These neutrons bounce around at incredible speeds until some eventually ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured “ultraweak” photon emissions from living organisms. In rats this glow ...

Physicists have unveiled a new type of time crystal that is governed by quantum behavior that conflicts with classical models ...

As the name suggests, particle accelerators involve accelerating subatomic particles to incredibly high speeds and smashing ...

Knowable Magazine reports that neutrinos may help explain the universe's missing antimatter, shedding light on matter-antimatter imbalance.

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

A strange kind of geometry governs how particles move inside matter. Now, for the first time, physicists have uncovered its ...

QCi’s photonic chips could reduce the cost of quantum computers. IonQ’s trapped ion technology could shrink quantum processing units. Both of these companies are growing, but one is grossly overvalued ...

Forget about turtles; for all practical purposes, it’s really particles all the way down. Consider the seemingly simple matter of their size, the very thing that makes them so alien. We’re typically ...
