Fifty experts on nuclear physics, particle physics and astrophysics met at CERN from 9 to 13 June to discuss how to use ...
To further clarify, quantum physics describes the vacuum not as an empty void, but as a seething background of energy where particles and antiparticles constantly appear and disappear due to ...
Don’t call them Duergar—they’re dark dwarfs. A new study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP) proposes that the core of our galaxy is full of an all-new category of ...
Physicists are setting traps to catch antihydrogen, the simplest element in the mirror world of antimatter. Their results could challenge our picture of fundamental particles and forces, says ...
If this rare process is ever detected, it could show that neutrinos are their own antiparticles, known as Majorana particles. This would have huge implications for the nature of matter.
A ‘topoconductor’ is a brand-new type of material that Microsoft created. It helps keep the quantum information safe from ...
Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre ...
Imagine a liquid that flows freely one moment, then stiffens into a near-solid the next, and then can switch back with a ...
Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in ...
Nanoplastics—particles smaller than a human hair—can pass through cell walls and enter the food web. New research suggest 27 ...
Scientists have finally uncovered a quantum counterpart to Carnot’s famed second law, showing that entanglement—once thought ...
