"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting ...

Air-polluting microplastics have been found in rural environments in greater quantities than in urban locations, researchers ...

Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can ...

Physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) have discovered a completely new type of quantum entanglement, the spooky phenomenon that binds particles across any distance. In particle collider ...

In the strange and fascinating world of quantum mechanics, particles have long been sorted into just two types: fermions and bosons. These labels help explain how matter forms and how forces work.

From the early days of quantum mechanics, scientists have thought that all particles can be categorized into one of two groups — bosons or fermions — based on their behavior. “We determined that new ...

What’s going on with this silent threat that can stealthily damage your body in ways that can take years to reveal themselves ...

Nuclear physicists have found a new way to see inside nuclei by tracking interactions between particles of light and gluons. The method relies on harnessing a new type of quantum interference between ...
