To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

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

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.

Two ghostlike particles, neutrinos and photons, are emerging as unlikely combatants in a quiet revolution in physics. New calculations suggest these nearly intangible entities may interact in extreme ...

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

NASA’s IMAP spacecraft studies charged particles, energetic neutral atoms, and magnetic fields at the heliosphere’s boundaries, providing real-time space weather data for Earth and spacecraft.

The use of atomic clocks could help bring cosmology and astrophysics "down to Earth" by allowing scientists to investigate the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter in the lab. When you purchase ...

The CMS collaboration have used advanced machine learning techniques to search for new particles in jets produced by proton-proton collisions at the LHC A proton-proton collision producing multiple ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...
