A ghost particle is pretty much a big deal for the same reason, and that's why astrophysicists are trying to trap them. They're excited, and here's why you should be, too.

The wave-particle duality is one of those essential pillars. Physics courses devote weeks to just introducing it – but there are still important aspects that can be covered in a short article.

Particle accelerators can help scientists measure the smallest and largest particles in the universe.

A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator. It uses magnetic and electric fields to speed up charged particles like protons or ions to very high speeds. This allows the particles to collide with ...

However, that statement might no longer be true because of the neutrino—the particle that may be able to transcend dimensions that light cannot. The concept of the neutrino is significant to our ...

The priorities include a powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries ...

A key theory of particle physics, the Standard Model has withstood test after test. But there are holes in the theory, particularly when it comes to gravity.

This article focuses on bimodal particle size distribution (PSD) analysis and its significance.

The fundamental particle of light is both ordinary and full of surprises. What physicists refer to as photons, other people might just call light. As quanta of light, photons are the smallest possible ...

For the first time, physicists at CERN saw a "charm meson particle" switch between matter and antimatter.

In the simplest terms, quantum entanglement means that aspects of one particle of an entangled pair depend on aspects of the other particle, no matter how far apart they are or what lies between them.

A multitude of experiments have shown the mysterious phenomena of quantum mechanics to be how the universe functions. The scientists behind these experiments won the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics.
