In a collider ring on Long Island, physicists have turned a long standing thought experiment into hard data, watching new ...

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties ...

The idea that empty space is truly empty has been quietly dying for decades, but new measurements of particle spin are now forcing the issue. By tracking how tiny fragments of matter emerge with ...

A strange, glowing form of matter called dusty plasma turns out to be incredibly sensitive to magnetic fields. Researchers found that even weak fields can change how tiny particles grow, simply by ...

The new research demonstrates for the first time that the wave nature of matter persists even at large scales, using massive ...

Some things are easier to achieve if you're not alone. As researchers from the University of Rostock, Germany have shown, this very human insight also applies to the most fundamental building blocks ...

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

Can a single particle have a temperature? It may seem impossible with our standard understanding of temperature, but ...

A number of experiments have been proposed to generate and witness gravitational entanglement, but Aziz and Howl’s work suggests that the presence of gravitational entanglement is not a ‘smoking gun’ ...

Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the point of breaking. Two teams of physicists have now used ...

US physicists have shed light on a long-standing mystery after they captured rare experimental ...
