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 ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Learn how physicists recreated the early universe’s primordial soup, known as quark-gluon plasma, and discovered how it responds when particles race through it.

Turning lead into gold famously used to be the goal of ancient alchemists, but their modern counterparts have actually managed the feat, though it wasn't easy.

Suppression of a telltale sign of quark-gluon interactions indicates gluon recombination in dense walls of gluons. Previous experiments have shown that when ions are accelerated to high energies, ...

CERN's ALICE experiment has resolved the puzzle of deuteron formation, showing that most deuterons form via resonance-driven ...
