Dark matter is some kind of substance that has gravity—it holds galaxies together—yet cannot be directly seen with any ...

In the new paper, the scientists throw further light into the mystery of Majorana physics. For the first time, two well-established techniques were applied simultaneously to the same device. To their ...

Deep-sea sensors detected the most energetic neutrino ever recorded.

As a central hub for scientific exploration, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is dedicated to probing the enigmatic particles that could potentially elucidate the mystery of dark ...

Physicists had struggled to explain how quantum mechanics allows two particles to affect each other's behavior. "That these two particles are entangled in a way that, no matter how distant they are ...

Decades after it became clear that the visible Universe is built on a framework of dark matter, we still don’t know what dark matter actually is. On large scales, a variety of evidence points toward ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

On 7 April, researchers announced results from the now-defunct Tevatron collider in Illinois finding that the mass of the W boson is higher than the standard model of particle physics predicts – a ...

A green spectacle. With protective eyewear, ISTA PHD student Andrea Stöllner takes a glimpse into the experimental chamber (in the foreground) where two laser beams trap a single particle. One ...

THE first thing you need to know is that virtual particles, which are impossible to avoid if you want to understand how the fundamental forces of nature animate matter, aren’t really particles at all.

CNN — Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger have won the Nobel Prize for physics for their landmark achievements in quantum mechanics -- the study of the behavior of particles and atoms -- ...
