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 ...

Two recent studies speculate a natural emergence of the mysterious substance, offering ‘self-contained and calculable ...

AI has entered a new phase. It is no longer just about building larger models or accessing more data. Today’s competition ...

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

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

The United States must prepare for the quantum age. That’s according to the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information ...

Imagine two flashlights aimed at each other; do their beams collide? Nope! In everyday physics, light is too chill for drama.

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 ...

A pioneer in his field, he influenced cosmologist Stephen Hawking and was a founding member of the Perimeter Institute and ...

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

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

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