Classical physics taught that light waves pass through each other unaffected, but quantum mechanics couldn’t resist the ...

Physicists have discovered that when beams of light interact at the quantum level, they can generate ghost-like particles ...

The magnetic moment of the muon—a tiny property of a tiny particle—has long puzzled physicists. Experiments and theory haven’t quite matched up, leaving open the thrilling possibility of discovering ...

Scientists have shown that light can interact with itself in bizarre ways—creating ghost-like virtual particles that pop in and out of existence.

But recent results hinting at unexplained new physics beyond the standard model are of this second type. Detailed studies from the LHCb experiment found that a particle known as a beauty quark ...

The Geiger-Marsden experiment, also called the gold foil experiment or the α-particle scattering experiments, refers to a series of early-20th-century experiments that gave physicists their first ...

Calmet added that these ultra-light dark matter particle kicks to the building blocks of the atom would lead to a time variation in fundamental constants of the universe, such as the fine ...

The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible.
