One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

“Positronium is the simplest atom composed of equal-mass constituents, and until it self-annihilates, it behaves as a neutral ...

In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted gave a demonstration on electricity to a class of advanced students at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Using an early battery prototype, he looked to see what ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

Scientists have applied a promising new method to search for dark matter particles in a particle accelerator. The method is based on the observation of the spin polarization of a particle beam in a ...

Muons are getting a move on. In a step toward new types of particle physics experiments, scientists cooled and then accelerated a beam of muons. The subatomic particles, heavy cousins of electrons, ...

Scientists have successfully developed a pocket-sized particle accelerator capable of projecting ultra-short electron beams with laser light at more than 99.99% of the speed of light. To achieve this ...

Scientists have succeeded in creating an experimental model of an elusive kind of fundamental particle called a skyrmion in a beam of light. Scientists at the University of Birmingham have succeeded ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...
