Several years ago, scientists discovered that a single microscopic particle could rock back and forth on its own under a ...

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 ...

But only in the last 70 years have we known for certain they were there. In 1956, physicists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Scientists didn’t understand why independently oscillating microscopic particles suddenly begin moving in perfect sync when grouped together. Researchers showed that fluid-driven hydrodynamic ...

In a study, physicists now observed a class of quantum particles called fractional excitons, which behave in unexpected ways and could significantly expand scientists' understanding of the quantum ...

Physicist Richard Feynman invented them to describe the interactions between real particles. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. This ...
