Neutrinos are one of the most enigmatic fundamental particles. The Standard Model of particle physics suggests that these ...

To learn more about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, physicists smash high-energy particles together in large ...

A research group at the University of Stuttgart has manipulated light through its interaction with a metal surface so that it ...

Neutrinos, the mysterious and nearly massless particles that barely interact with anything, are revealing new secrets through the KATRIN experiment. Using tritium decay and advanced spectrometry, ...

Physicists have taken quantum strangeness to an extraordinary new level by measuring light across ... the experiment showed that the relationship between entangled particles was so deeply nonlocal ...

Physicists have shown that particles produced in collimated sprays called jets retain information about their origins in subatomic particle smashups.

Schrödinger’s cat experiments have been done with particles before, but all of them were cooled to near-absolute zero. It was like starting with a dead cat. This is the first time “hot ...

Cosmic rays are particles from outer space that travel across the universe. They can be made by the sun, by other stars exploding, and even black holes. They move extremely fast, nearly the speed of ...

Scientists have hypothesized since the 1960s that the Sun is a source of ingredients that form water on the Moon. When a stream of charged particles known as the solar wind smashes into the lunar ...

Two NASA rockets launched into auroras over Alaska last week to study the impact that these geomagnetic light shows have on Earth's upper atmosphere, and the results were gorgeous. The experiment ...
