“The level of control the authors have achieved over an individual antimatter particle is unprecedented,” says Dmitry Budker, ...

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

Particles known as tensor mesons are created when high-energy photons interact. These mesons have now been proposed to have a larger effect on photon behavior than previously thought, and provide a ...

Instead of the big bang, some physicists have suggested that our universe may have come from a big bounce following another ...

It won’t make its way into quantum computers, but it could help us understand why the universe is filled with matter.

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

Discover what happens when light collides with light. Explore the science behind photon-photon interaction, quantum ...

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 ...

In a breakthrough for antimatter research, the BASE collaboration at CERN has kept an antiproton – the antimatter counterpart ...

They achieved a spin coherence time of 50 seconds, meaning the antiproton stayed in a stable quantum rhythm for nearly a ...

Physicists would dearly love to find new particles, but there's no sign of them in colliders like the LHC. Now we have found ...
