It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and ...

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, ...

Dark matter keeps getting blamed for the universe’s big patterns while staying stubbornly out of reach. You cannot see it, touch it, or capture it.

The CMS Collaboration has shown, for the first time, that machine learning can be used to fully reconstruct particle ...

A portable detector the size of a cookie box reveals in real time the cosmic particles that pass through your body every ...

In nanoscale particle research, precise control and separation have long been a bottleneck in biotechnology. Researchers at the University of Oulu have now developed a new method that improves ...

After decades of exploration in nature’s smallest domains, physicists have finally found evidence that anyons exist. First predicted by theorists in the early 1980s, these particle-like objects only ...

Launched on Dec. 20, it would travel for the next 23 days on a NASA balloon along the very highest reaches of the atmosphere, ...

Empty space, despite how we think of it, may not be as empty as we assume. Although we cannot detect the virtual particles present in empty space, their presence is necessary to predict, ...
