Exotic hypothetical particles known as axions could potentially be produced inside a nuclear reactor, something The Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon Cooper thought was impossible.

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Physics experiments have changed the world irrevocably, altering our reality and enabling us to take gigantic leaps in technology. From ancient times to now, here's a look at some of the greatest ...

If the universe was a soundtrack, we have been humming it our whole life. Every atom in our body, every star in the sky, every beam of light is part of a piece of music that never stops playing.

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Physicists are finalizing plans for MATHUSLA, a powerful new addition to CERN's Large Hadron Collider that will detect long-lived particles and potentially open the door to new physics. When you ...
