Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to belong to one of two categories — bosons or fermions — but researchers have ...

A device made using a tiny bead floating in a beam of light can measure extremely small pressures and could help find a ...

Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.

To capture a crisp image of a hummingbird in flight, which can flap its wings up to 200 times per second, a photographer ...

MIT researchers bridge worlds of classical and quantum physics. (Representational image)Mark Garlick A new study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now bridges the gap ...

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...

Researchers dedicated to a decades-long quest to measure the magnetic properties of the subatomic muon particle have won one of this year’s US$3-million Breakthrough prizes. The results seemingly ...

A weird force that skirts traditional physics norms has helped erase a smudge on the foundations of particle physics. It’s a phenomenon called the “neutrino force,” by which neutrinos could ...

There has been considerable debate among physicists over the last 15 years about conflicting measurements of the charge radius of a hydrogen atom’s proton—some confirming the predictions of our ...
