If there weren’t any planets, stars, comets, asteroids, or other cosmic debris flying around, there would be merely the ...

Scientists have observed particles forming from the vacuum, revealing how matter may emerge from seemingly empty space.

In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the ...

A cloud of helium atoms split, scattered and fell under gravity, yet still behaved as if its parts were linked. That is the ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that particles of matter emerging from energetic subatomic smashups retain a key ...

For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has ...

For the first time, physicists have entangled two atoms while they were in motion and used the result to run one of quantum ...

Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in ...

It has been 15 years since the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) started smashing particles together. Since then, I have been one among thousands of researchers scouring its collisions for evidence of new ...
