At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider on the edge of Geneva, scientists have reported a surprising twist in the behavior of matter.

This kind of ‘magic’ could lead to a computer revolution.

Scientists have found “strange quarks” that originated as virtual particles that sprang from nothing Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, ...

For decades, scientists have explored the enigmatic world of fundamental particles, uncovering the building blocks of our universe. But what if some of these particles, once deemed impossible, ...

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set ...

Scientists at the University of Warwick have cracked a long-standing problem in air pollution science: how to predict the movement of irregularly shaped nanoparticles as they drift through the air we ...

It’s three for the price of one. A trio of mysterious high-energy particles could all have the same source: active black holes embedded in galaxy clusters, researchers suggest January 22 in Nature ...

Chalk up a potential third win for hypothetical particles called axions. If the subatomic particles exist, they could solve two pressing puzzles of particle physics: the source of the dark matter that ...

Scientists have observed a unique particle that moves easily one way, yet resists at 90 degrees. These semi-Dirac fermions were observed using their energy signature in a topological metal. Particles ...

About 1.2 miles beneath Antarctica, an underground observatory is hunting for "ghost particles." What it finds could reveal the unseen heart of a distant galaxy. Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer ...
