In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...
The announcement this week that scientists may or may not have discovered a new subatomic particle has riled up the physics world. So how do we know for sure whether the particle is real or not? A ...
Richard Feynmann noted more than once that complementarity is the central mystery that lies at the heart of quantum theory. Complementarity rules the world of the very small… the quantum world, and ...
Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...
"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...
Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...
Scientists used the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) data to reveal, for the first time, a universal feature within jets of subatomic particles, which are produced when high-energy protons collide. Their ...
